USMC M1941 Haversack & Knapsack Set | Korean War Dated 1952 | Named "KEHOE"

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 magnificent and historically significant collector's set: Original Korean War M-1951 Fishtail Parka. This set is exceptional because all components are US Marine Corps issued, and the liner features the rare stencil "C. W. Bn.". This stands for Cold Weather Battalion, the specialized unit formed in 1951 at Pickel Meadows to train Marines for the freezing conditions of Korea (Chosin Reservoir campaign).

• The Hood: Dated 1951, "U.S. Marine Corp." stamped, real fur ruff.

• The Liner: Wool pile, stamped "U.S. Marine Corps Depot of Supplies" and "C. W. Bn."

• The Shell: Heavy cotton sateen, heavy-duty brass zipper. Condition is remarkably good. Size Medium.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A genuine WWII/Korean War era US Navy cold-weather deck vest. Features a rugged olive drab cotton canvas shell, an incredibly warm alpaca/wool pile lining, and a period-correct brass CONMAR zipper. Estimated size Small. Exhibits authentic "salty" vintage character with minor paint/oil spots, but remains structurally solid.

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!

An authentic, combat-used U.S. Military M1916 leather holster for the Colt M1911/1911A1 .45 caliber pistol. This piece features incredible "trench modifications": the M1910 wire belt hanger has been crudely but effectively re-stitched in the field, and two vertical slits were cut to accommodate a trouser belt. Inner flap features faded maker marks and the stencil "G.B.S". A true "salty" piece of GI history.

Great for a mannequin display or repair material.
