*NEW!* U.S. WWII pup-tent, both sides dated 1942. I got this from the vet's step daughter, he was in the Air Corps and served as a gunner in
the Pacific theater. Used condition. Guaranteed 100% original.

*SOLD!*
*NEW!* Right out of the WWII Vet's footlocker is this original rifle ammo bandoleer. There are two different types of rifle rounds, I know one
is 30-06 for the M1 carbine, the other I'm not sure of. Used condition. Guaranteed 100% original. These are still live rounds, I will only ship
within the US lower 48. Nice original WWII bandoleer!
$125.00
*NEW!* I just picked this up from the daughter of the WWII Vet, it's been in the attic since the war and has never been in a collection. She
said he flew missions into Europe carrying paratroopers. It is a very nice and rarely found Airborne "Troop Carrier" IKE jacket. There are
some moth holes here and there from storage, on the arm, under the collar and other areas. Typical for storage of 63 years! The Airborne
patch is the English-made version I'm told and it's in good condition. The collars have the U.S. and Air Corps brass buttons. Over the right
pocket is the ruptured duck patch. Over the left pocket are four medal bars: Good conduct, American Campaign, Victory Medal, and the
European Campaign Medal. The size tag is marked "38R" and there is an ink stamp below it reading "F-4046". Rank stripes on each arm.
These don't come along very often, this rare Ike jacket would be worthy of any collection to display proudly.
*SOLD!*
*NEW!* USMC United States Marine Corps Corporal's "Ike" style jacket. I just purchased this jacket from the vet's daughter along with an
original WWII Army jacket dated 1942 (see my other auctions, it's listed separately). The inside pocket has an ink stamp that reads: "SUPPLY
DEPARTMENT, U.S. MARINE CORPS, 1953-1954". I'm not exactly sure if this was made during the Korean War or right at the end. The inside
arm has the Marine's name marked in it: "R.A. Simpson". On each arm there are Corporal Cpl chevron patches along with a single 4 year
service stripe. All patches are very clean with vibrant colors. The jacket has two front upper chest pockets, the wearer's left pocket is loose
at the top (see photo's). The size tag on the collar under the hanging loop is "38 L". Both upper collars have the EGA's or Eagle, Globe &
Anchor's. They are the 2-pin back type (see photo's). Both lower sleeves have very nice buttons with the EGA's on them. This is a very nice
jacket and displays well. Perfect for the military or Marine Corps collector.
$45.00
*NEW!* This is an original U.S. Army WWII jacket. There are no patches or pins on it. All buttons are very nice and are marked on the reverse.
Tag is size marked "42 S" and dated "1942". There are a couple of small moth holes from storage. Well made and a highly sought after early
style!
*SOLD!*
*NEW!*  US WWI bayonet marked "RIA" and dated "1917". Overall good condition! Blade is nice and straight and the bayonet locks nicely
into the scabbard. Direct from a veteran's estate.
*SOLD*
*NEW!* Just out of the woodwork! The US WWII army jacket belonged to a soldier with the famous 44th Infantry Division. A few moth holes
here and there in the wool. The ruptured duck patch was found in the breast pocket. Nice brass insignia and a cross too!
