My dad was an SP in the Air Force and in Vietnam. When he got out he took his belt and holster and they are now mine. He was actually issued a Model 15 2" when he had been in south Vietnam for a couple months and received a Model 1911A1 Government for his belt. It was 1965 and things were a little looser at the beginning of our involvement I guess.
