US items

Excellent and named 82nd Airborne class A jacket with period sewn insignia. The garment is in very good light worn condition and comes with the Tie and Garrison cap found together with the jacket. The garment is named Gerstner which could be a good base for further research. The Jump wing oval indicates he served in a Airborne Artillery Battalion. For me, the favorite detail on this garment is the British half Pennies used as backing for the Collar disc insignia. Typical detail for a soldier who was stationed in the UK prior to D-Day. The garment is a killer piece that would very nicely display in any Airborne focussed collection!

Textbook combat used US Pistol belt.

Textbook US overseas cap for a EM/NCO in a airborne unit. The cap is in excellent, worn condition. The cap retains a combined paratrooper and glider infantry patch and a red white mixed piping. Nice named example!

USAAF officer’s shirt, British made patch in good worn condition. Hard to find original shirt.

US combined Glider parachute Infantry cap patch in very good, cap removed condition.

USAAF 8th Airforce patch in good condition.

US M41 field jacket named Roy M Roberts 34606000. Textbook field worn example with loads of character!

US 1 Pound TNT pack, which are of course empty! These TNT containers were used by engineers but also issued to infantrymen and paratroopers. These green examples have twice the content of the yellow ones and are much harder to come by. I have 9 examples in stock, all in good condition as pictured. The price is naturally for one piece!

Modified first pattern US Bazooka rocket bag in good used condition. This is a first pattern, single lift the dot example dated 1943. There is a interesting field modification with two German leather straps and buckles. There is a 2nd Lieutenants name ‘Renard’ on the side of the bag which is a typical French name but I have also found numerous US army enlistees with the same last name. Hard to find!

US Custom made fighting knife made from a bayonet blade with a cast aluminum grip.

US Glider wing marked Sterling in very good condition.

Hard to find original US Army pencil eraser in unissued condition. Not to be confused with civilian or post war manufacture; this is a original US Army issue pencil eraser straight from the wartime packaging. I have obtained a small amount of these and will not get a restock. Hard to find original example in unissued condition wich was issued to anyone with a mapcase in the US army during world war two.

Original US airborne command patch in good unissued condition.

Original 1st Allied Airborne patch in very good condition.

US M1 Garand bayonet marked UC MOD 1942. Typical cut-down example in very good used condition!

Unfortunately I can not offer shipping outside of mainland europe for edged weapons.

US messtin marked US MACo 1944 in excellent condition.

US composition sole service shoes in size 13 in excellent unissued condition. Hard to find late war boots in a nice large size!

The world war two unit history for the First Infantry Division. The book counts 429 pages plus 48 pages of black and white images in the back.

Original US press photo with original label reading; German officer captured by allies Normandy, France. Cocky and self-assured, with one hand on hip and the other holding a cigarette, this German officer is questioned by Yank soldiers after his capture in Normandy. His smile is unreadable – it may be one of friendliness, or it may be an expression of disdain.
