Original Medic Bags
Original WWII US medic bags. These were supposedly reused by the French after the War, who applied unit markings to the bags, and then covered those with olive drab paint. The bags are in good condition, some wear and tear, but very much still serviceable. All are khaki, but none of them are perfectly the same in color or paint dabs to one another...so if you require a "matching" pair to be at one with your universe, we can't help you...
Each $35.00



USMC Camouflage Utility Strap
Original WWII straps used to secure ponchos or shelter halves to the backpack...or to secure captured Japanese civilians to prevent them from jumping into the ocean...Yea, that's so wrong. Anyway, these are unissued, like new condition, etc, etc. About 43 inches long, made form the same cloth as the shelter half.
Each $15.00

Crickets
Old, "civilian" model crickets. Not sure of their era as they aren't dated. They make the correct "click" for all the paratroopers participating in Operation Neptune (D-Day) events. These are a mix of orange and yellow. If you want khaki, you'll have to paint them yourself...
Each $3.00


US W.W.II Ski Goggles
Original, unissued ski goggles for mountain troops. Used by the First Special Service Force and the 10th Mountain Division. Although "new in the case" these do show some age. Some of the tint on the lenses is discolored and the leather (?) cases are somewhat brittle. Not recommended for "field use".
Each $30.00
