US Army SETAF Patch | Southern European Task Force | Cut Edge | Lion of St. Mark

A museum-quality collector's set featuring experimental/prototype Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) designs for the 10th Mountain Division. Dating back to the division's reactivation as a Training Division at Fort Riley during the Korean War era (1948–1954), these specific designs and color variations were tested but never officially adopted for mass issue.

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.

A blade with a true combat story! We are offering a genuine WWII US M3 Trench Knife manufactured by the Utica Cutlery Co. This is the 1944 "Guard Marked" variation. This knife is a certified "salty" frontline veteran—the blade shows honest signs of period field sharpening, and the stacked leather handle has a deep, dark patina from heavy use. It comes complete with a period U.S.M8A1 fiberglass scabbard (B.M.CO.) that features a clear "VP" (Victory Plastics) logo on the back. Crucially, it still retains its original, neatly tied leather leg thong. An excellent, character-rich piece for any WWII US Airborne or edged weapons collector!
