An authentic piece of field gear from the Korean War. This 1953 US Army Shelter Half is technically unissued, retaining the stiffness and vibrant color of new canvas.

  • Provenance: Clearly stamped "TENT, SHELTER HALF, NEW TYPE" and dated 4-30-53. Features the classic "US" exterior stencil.

  • Condition: While the fabric body is mint, there is a specific defect: the fabric is torn/frayed at one corner. This is likely damage from decades of storage or snagging, rather than field use.

  • Collector's Note: Perfect for display where the corner can be hidden, or for someone who wants unwashed canvas quality at a lower price point due to the flaw.

Technical Specs:

  • Item: Shelter Half

  • Date: April 30, 1953

    Skladem (1 pcs) Brand: G.I.

    A hard-to-find pair of 1st Pattern M1941 HBT Trousers. Distinguished by the internal front and rear pockets (no large cargo pockets like the 2nd pattern). Stamped size 32 x 31.

This "salty" patina makes them absolutely perfect for a Motor Pool, Tanker, or Mechanic impression, where pristine gear would look out of place.
