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.
Rustic wooden wall plaque featuring the 3rd Armored Division insignia. Hand-painted relief emblem with "SPEARHEAD" tab. Size approx. 14x17 cm. Likely a German-made souvenir from the Cold War era.
Complete experimental pouch EX 54-1. Very nice condition.
USMC Haversack and Knapsack from the Korean War. The Haversack was manufactured in 1952. There is a repair on one of the drawstring straps see photo. Knapsack is in very nice condition. It is signed by the original owner.
Genuine US Marine Corps issue shelter half dated 1952. Large "U.S.M.C." stencil. Manufactured by Tweedie Footwear Corp. "New Type" with snaps. Good color, used condition with authentic field repairs/holes.

An extremely rare original patch of the UDT (Underwater Demolition Teams) dating to the Korean War era. These elite "Frogmen" (often nicknamed "The Naked Warriors") were responsible for hydrographic reconnaissance and beach clearance ahead of amphibious landings like Inchon. These units are the direct lineage of the modern US Navy SEALs.
Genuine Korean War era US Army shelter half. Dated April 1953. Unissued condition with crisp canvas/color. Note: Has a tear in one corner due to storage handling.
Original US military "Poncho, Lightweight, with Hood", dated 1952. This item represents a major evolution in field gear introduced during the Korean War. Made from lightweight coated nylon (unlike the heavy rubberized WWII canvas) and featuring an integral hood for the first time. Essential gear for any Korean War USMC display.
A genuine piece of Eastern Front history: German Patronenkasten 34 (ammunition box for MG34/42). This example is stamped with the year "40" (1940). It is a classic "Russian Capture" item, having been repainted with Soviet green paint over the original finish during post-war storage or reuse. The box is structurally sound with working latches and handles.
A scarce and highly desirable original WWII shoulder sleeve insignia of the Merrill's Marauders (5307th Composite Unit Provisional). Famous for their long-range penetration missions behind Japanese lines in the Burma theater. This patch features the correct WWII "Cut Edge" construction. Authenticity verified: The threads do not glow under UV light, confirming the use of vintage cotton materials rather than modern synthetics.
An exceedingly rare piece of US Special Forces history: The WWII Original Scroll of the 7th Ranger Battalion. Often referred to by collectors as a "Phantom Unit", patches for the 7th Bn were manufactured late in the war in anticipation of the unit's activation, which was ultimately cancelled or short-lived before deployment. Despite the unit's obscure history, the patch features undeniable wartime construction: embroidery on black wool felt with a Cut Edge and a standard "Snowy Back" reverse. Essential for completing a Ranger Scroll collection.

The collecting of military theater made knives of World War II is one of the fastest growing fields of collecting in America today. These knives are very historical. They were individually handmade by people who wanted to contribute to the war effort, as well as the service men who used them. Most of these knives differ in style and have very colorful handles. This is the only book available that donates its entire contents to the collecting of theater made knives and their values.
Genuine World War II US Marine Corps P1944 Utility Trousers. "Modified" version with belt loops. Frogskin camouflage. Size 36. Rare unissued condition.
Genuine US Navy rating badge for Salvage Diver. Features the iconic Mark V diving helmet with "S" insignia. White square patch with blue embroidery. Unissued condition.
A highly collectible US M4 Bayonet manufactured by the famous CASE cutlery company. Designed for the M1 Carbine. Included is the correct M8A1 scabbard made by BM CO (Beckwith Manufacturing). The bayonet is in used condition. Condition Note: As is common with vintage leather-handled knives, the washers have dried and shrunk over time. This has resulted in the crossguard becoming loose (wobbly).
Genuine World War II era US Army Glider Badge. Marked "STERLING" silver. Authentic pin back construction. Issued to Glider Infantry and airborne troops. Excellent vintage condition with patina..
