Item Description
Original Items: Only One Group Available. Ever since the beginning of time, when two or more countries were at war, soldiers would acquire items worn by the opposing force. Soldiers would swap uniform items with other soldiers, whether it be small pins and insignia to actual clothing and equipment. During WWII the allies would swap insignia, patches, boots etc and they would also “acquire” items worn and used by the opposing forces and send them home. The militaries of the 21st century still uphold the habit of acquiring these such items and this grouping is a prime example of that.
Surrendering Iraqi soldiers during the Invasion of Iraq led by U.S. forces would discard weapons and equipment all over the battlefield. There are many stories and accounts of American troops moving up to a position and all that would be left would be piles of uniforms, helmets, web gear and weapons. A Lot of Americans would stow away this gear in their packs in the hopes of sending them home or bringing them home on their person. This grouping was brought back in that fashion by an American who fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The items included in this group are the following items:
- Iraqi Dark Tan M90 Helmet, complete with camouflage net: Original Iraqi issue M-90 Helmet with Rubber bumper on the rim of the helmet. Complete with original foliage net, lining, chinstrap and sweatband. An excellent example of a combat worn Iraqi Helmet!
- Iraqi Black Beret: This is a great service worn Iraqi Army Beret that was used during the first and second war of the Gulf in 1991 and 2003. It was then brought back by a returning USGI. The design is fairly standard, with an Iraqi army badge on the front.
- Iraqi Field Phone: Bakelite in construction with arabic lettering painted on the front. It is missing the lid which covers the telephone receiver.
- Iraqi Uniform Jacket and Pants, French_Made. Matching Top and Bottoms, made by the firm “Alain Rafael”. Both pants and jacket exhibit fading in areas.
- Iraqi Canteen and Carrying Pouch: Canteen has the Iraqi Ministry marking on the exterior. Comes with the original cup and P-58 style carrying pouch.
- Iraqi Junior Officer Slip On Shoulder Board Loop.
- Iraqi Army Medical Branch Insignia
- Iraqi General Officer’s (general) crossed sword device for shoulder board.
This is a wonderful and genuine U.S. bringback from Operation Iraqi Freedom. All items come ready to display in your Global War on Terror collections!
