even in the early-mid 60s you could pick up a perfectly servicable a-2, g-1, m series, b-3 etc, at used clothing out lets, and army navy stores for $15-$20, maybe $25 if it was in super nice patched condition. around the early mid 70s, japanese collectors, dealers, and what not, went around the usa to these stores, scooping up vintage levis, wwll leather jackets, and god knows what else. it was like poof, all gone....well not entirely, but the landscape changed and prices for this gear just went up from there.
