Looking for RCW, B Unit, 1998.

Post by rareauldmealtimes » Sat Apr 04, 2020 9:58 am

Hi all,

Trying to complete a 24 hour set of an RCW ration. I have a late version RCW 5-A I got off ebay for a pretty good deal. Its a 1998 not sure exactly the last year of production of RCWs. Date code of 8154. Looking to have a B unit of the same era but not necessarily the matching on.

Can buy, trade or both. For trade: I have a "modern" Food Packet Survival General Purpose from 2007 and an another from 1985 which is still the old spam can style gold lacquered version.

Let me know Thanks!.

Still looking May 17th ****
