Description

The missing link in the evolution of modern body armor.

  • Context: Unlike the US Army's preference for manganese steel, the Navy and Marines pushed for lighter, non-metallic solutions. This resulted in DORON, a glass-reinforced plastic laminate named after General Georges F. Doriot.

  • The Armor: The vest features internal pockets housing the original rigid Doron plates (identifiable by their distinct amber/orange color). These plates were cutting-edge tech in 1944/45.

  • Design: Sleeveless green cotton construction with 13-star metal tack buttons. The segmented pocket design allows for flexibility.

  • Condition: Mint / Unissued. A strictly warehouse find.

Technical Specs:

  • Item: Experimental Personnel Armor

  • Insert Material: DORON (Fiberglass Laminate)

  • Era: WWII (1944-1945)

  • Size: Medium

  • Condition: Mint / Museum Grade.
