This is an AWS made Special Forces LBV (load bearing vest)from the early 1990's. There has been a lot of discussion on another forum as to whether this was SF issued or a SWAT type item. It was determined to be a AWS made vest for issue to SF guys. This was one of the many black gear items that were being fielded/experimented with in the mid 80's to mid 90's. VERY RARE piece.
