Item Description
Original & Reproduction Items: Only One Lot of 10 Available. This is an amazing opportunity to add some great WWII issue American field gear equipment to your collections, along with a reproduction K-ration. Most still have their original markings and most are in lovely condition and even have field repairs present! You do not want to pass upon this opportunity to add these items into your displays.
The items included in this lot:
- M1936 Musette Bag: This bag was often seen with the paratroopers, but it was available for issue to most units and many used it. The Musette Bag has a rear flap pocket with a snap closure, and a left side cargo pocket, also with a snap. The interior was sectioned into compartments. It was very common to see different colors used in the bag itself and the web straps as wartime production was often not able to coordinate the transition from khaki to olive drab. Most had "US" stamped on the flap with the manufacturer and date on the back panel. The equipment tab with eyelets was added later in production and is not present on early bags.
- M1928 Haversack Canvas Tab: Used for attaching additional equipment
- Reproduction U.S. Army Field Ration K Breakfast Unit Inner and Outer Boxes. A block of wood is inside to maintain the shape and give it weight.
- x2 Canvas Gaiters
- Small Waterproofing Bag
- M1 Carbine Buttstock Magazine Pouch
- M1928 “Meat Can” Pouch: This detachable pouch is designed to hold the mess tin (aka "meat can") on the Army and Marine Corps Haversacks.
- M1928 Haversack: The soldier’s field rations were carried in the haversack along with other essential items. The meat can, knife, fork and spoon were carried in a canvas pouch that was attached to the top center of the haversack flap. The earliest version of the meat can pouch had a rounded bottom and was laced to the flap, but this was quickly changed to a somewhat larger pouch with a squared bottom that was held to the flap by four metal loops that passed through slits in the flap and were secured by two web straps. Although some slight production changes were instituted during World War I, the M-1910 haversack remained in use until World War II. An upgraded haversack was developed in 1928 that had quick release buckles and a web strap and buckle closure on the meat can pouch replacing the metal button. However, the M-1928 haversack did not go into production until 1940, and older haversacks continued to be issued until stocks were exhausted.
- M1910 Khaki Pistol Belt
A wonderful opportunity to add field used and issued equipment as used by American soldiers and Marines during WWII. Comes ready to display!
