The man himself with a well respected fellow warrior, Nago, far left with PRU team. Not showing in the first image would be a "K" gun, the icing on the cake. However, with a little digging, and voila! In the second image, complete with leather mag pouch . . . but check out the wheel gun. Not too many guys carried a twelve inch barrel Colt SAA. (aka Buntline Special) Creating the American legend? Browning, Colt, Stoner, and Carbine Williams, along with the specific jeep as shown in the photo.

Interesting. The Jeep in the pic is a civilian pattern which really shouldn't surprise me if it was being used by a Provincial Recon Unit which was funded by the CIA. Was the gear used by the few U.S. advisors on the PRU teams sterile and supplied by CISO or did they just supply the RTs on Prairie Fire and Daniel Boone missions? Interesting pics, thanks.
