I could not pass this up...LOL!! I was trolling the flea market this past weekend and a guy had a vest he was asking $500 for. I started to BS with him about it and explained to him that as old as it is and not knowing its history, it was no longer a viable level II vest, it was a conversation piece and nothing more. It weighs about 20-30 lbs and seems to have steel plates in front and rear. There is a velcro strap that goes around you and velcroes in front, and the left shoulder strap is velcro. The right shoulder strap is fixed in place. No, I would not wear this thing other than for a picture! It is heavy, uncomfortable and most likely could not stop anything more than a stone or BB! But still, after talking the guy down to $20 for his antique vest... I felt I had to take it for the $20 bill!
When the SHTF, if I wear this thing you can take me on your boat and use me as a boat anchor!
