Vintage 3rd Armored Division "Spearhead" Plaque | Cold War Germany

Experimental pouch EX 54-1 used. Catfish lacks clips.

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.

A distinctive variation of the standard M1943 Entrenching Tool. This shovel features the "JAPAN Z" stamping on the blade, indicating it was manufactured in Japan for US forces during the Post-WWII Occupation or the Korean War (1950-1953) to support logistics in the Pacific theater. It comes paired with a correct period USMC style canvas carrier. A great piece for collectors of Korean War memorabilia.

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.

A museum-grade find: The Experimental Field Cargo Pack (Buttpack) from the 1954 EX-54 trials. This rare prototype is the direct forefather of the iconic M-1956 buttpack used in Vietnam. Produced in limited numbers for field testing, it features unique construction details and hardware distinctive to the 1954 experimental series.

Genuine US Marine Corps M1941 Pack System set. Includes the upper Haversack (dated 1952) and lower Knapsack. The Knapsack is in excellent condition and named to "KEHOE". The Haversack features a field repair on one strap. Authentic Korean War gear.

A collector's holy grail with an incredible story! Up for sale is the left half of a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) magazine belt. This is not a standard issue item, but a fascinating period field repair (a "Frankenstein" or rigger-made piece). 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!

Genuine World War II Tropical Combat Boots (Pacific Theater). Rare "GR-S" marked soles. Size 8R. Good condition. Fitted with original vintage laces (short type for lower boots).

The heroes of Utah Beach! Up for sale is a genuine World War II era shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI) for the famous US Army 4th Infantry Division. The "Ivy Division" is legendary for spearheading the D-Day landings at Utah Beach, liberating Paris, and enduring the brutal Hürtgen Forest. This patch is a textbook WWII original, featuring a fully embroidered background, a flat "Cut Edge," and the classic white bobbin thread "snowy back." It is in a beautiful, lightly used condition with authentic vintage fraying. An essential piece for any WWII ETO or D-Day collection!

Genuine World War II era Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the 12th Air Force. Authentic US manufacture with "Cut Edge" and "Snowy Back" construction. Tested UV Negative (does not glow), guaranteeing vintage cotton materials. Excellent condition.

A multi-layered piece of Pacific Theater history: US Navy M1 Helmet featuring a rare Schlueter shell (marked with "S"). The exterior displays a distinct black and "chemical yellow" camouflage pattern often associated with Iwo Jima. The authenticity is confirmed by the visible "ghosting" where the chinstrap masked the paint during application. The Firestone liner reveals a dual life: originally painted Red for Damage/Fire Control, then repurposed as White for MP/Shore Patrol duty.

Genuine US Military issue wire mesh splint (Cramer style). Standard issue for field medics from WWII through Vietnam. Galvanized steel wire, flexible and rollable. Excellent condition for medic bag displays.
