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.

Complete experimental pouch EX 54-1. Very nice condition.

An exceptional, complete US Marine Corps Dress Blue uniform set dated 1956. Includes the tunic (badged to a Sergeant with 8 years of service, complete with golden EGA collar brass) and the matching NCO trousers featuring the red "Blood Stripe". Tunic is a very small size (approx XS long), while the trousers are stamped 34 35 (approx 34" waist). Museum-quality condition.

Highly collectible US Military metal ammunition box (M19A1). Features excellent original yellow stenciling indicating it held 192 rounds of .30 Caliber Armor Piercing (AP M2) ammo packed in 8-round clips and bandoleers for the M1 Garand rifle. Manufactured by GP&F. Great vintage condition. Empty.

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.

A rare and comprehensive collection! Up for sale is a massive lot of 11 original U.S. Marine Corps extension school manuals and pamphlets dating from 1953 and 1955. Issued by the Marine Corps Educational Center in Quantico, Virginia, this set covers almost every aspect of a Marine officer's education—from staff organization and logistics to aviation principles, map reading, and field sanitation. A treasure trove for USMC historians and collectors.

A true veteran of the Pacific Theater! Up for sale is an original WWII USMC Utility Fighting Knife made by the legendary Camillus Cutlery Co. This is the highly desirable early "Blade-Marked" version. The knife is in excellent collector condition—the blade has no nicks, teeth, or damage, just a beautiful, honest patina. It comes with its original leather scabbard, which features a piece of unique history: the retaining strap was replaced with a piece of black leather and non-military civilian snaps. An amazing piece with a real story!

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.

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).

A rare, unissued World War II era U.S. Navy Binocular Blinker (Tube Type, Spec. 17B15). This specialized signaling device was designed to mount directly onto standard issue 6x30 and 7x50 binoculars for secure, directional Morse code communication between ships. Comes in its original cardboard box with printed instructions. Sold as an untested display collectible.

An incredibly rare surviving piece of World War II U.S. Army Medical Department field gear. This pneumatic (inflatable) hospital pillow was manufactured by the International Latex Corporation (ILC Dover)—the very same company that would later design the Apollo space suits for NASA! Surviving in remarkable New Old Stock (NOS) condition, the latex remains soft and pliable.

Genuine World War II era U.S. Army M-1928 Pack Carrier (the lower attachment for the Haversack). Designed to carry the GI's blanket roll and shelter half. Made of heavy olive drab canvas with a bold "U.S." stamp. In perfect, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition with crisp 1944 manufacturer markings. Please note: The coupling strap is missing.
