An authentic slice of Korean War history! Up for sale is a genuine 1952 dated U.S. Army mechanic's coverall, made from the legendary and highly durable Herringbone Twill (HBT) cotton. This particular piece showcases an interesting field modification: while tagged as a size 36 Long, both the sleeves and trouser legs have been period-shortened and hemmed (likely by a mechanic for safety and mobility). A fantastic item for collectors, reenactors, or vintage workwear enthusiasts.

Genuine US Marine Corps issue chow hall bowl. Made of durable mint green melamine/plastic. Bottom stamped "U.S.M.C." and "133". Classic vintage dining ware used in barracks and field kitchens during the Cold War and Vietnam eras.

A scarce component of the 1954 Experimental Load Carrying Equipment trials. This pouch, stamped EX 54-17, is a prototype item developed by the US Army to test new designs before the adoption of the M-1956 system. A highly desirable piece for advanced collectors of Cold War field gear development.

An incredible pre-Pearl Harbor USMC rarity! Up for sale is an original matching pair of U.S. Marine Corps canvas leggings (gaiters) safely dated to August 1941. This pair comes in the highly sought-after and rare Size 4, making it highly desirable for modern reenactors. Adding immense historical value are the stenciled identities of two different Marines on the inside (RENNA. F. and VALLEY. A. J.), showing honest field reissue. All brass hooks, eyelets, and straps are 100% complete and undamaged. Laces are missing. A prime centerpiece for an early-war Marine Corps display!

A stunning, near-mint example of the iconic WWII US Army M1911 Campaign Hat (often called the Montana Peak or Smokey Bear hat). The internal leather sweatband features crisp, legible markings dating it to 1944 (Contract RS-1944, PQMD). It comes rigged with the yellow/gold Cavalry branch cord and a US Army Officer's cap device. Finding felt hats of this age without moth damage or deformation is extremely rare. Size: 7 1/8.

A collector's holy grail with an incredible story! Up for sale is the left half of a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) magazine belt.

The base panel features a crisp, clear WWI stamp dating to September 1918, to which pouches from different belt models (WWI and WWII) have been attached using crude field stitching. This is a piece of gear that clearly went through hell and was kept in the fight by resourceful armorers. A true gem for advanced US militaria collectors!

A highly desirable Early WWII M1 Helmet configuration. The steel shell features the classic Fixed Bale loops and Front Seam stainless steel rim, dating it to the early war production blocks. The liner (made by IMP) is finished in a high-gloss parade lacquer and adorned with the decals of the 26th "Yankee" Infantry Division and the 101st Infantry Regiment.
