Forceps, Hemostatic, Straight Kelly

A scarce component of the 1954 Experimental Load Carrying Equipment trials. This pouch, stamped EX 54-17, is a prototype item developed by the US Army to test new designs before the adoption of the M-1956 system. A highly desirable piece for advanced collectors of Cold War field gear development.

A vintage shoulder sleeve insignia for the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment (503rd PIR), featuring their famous moniker "THE ROCK" earning during the WWII jump on Corregidor. Based on the construction (Merrowed Edge) and materials (Cotton threads that do not glow under UV light), this patch dates to the Post-War era (1950s or 1960s). It is typically found on reunion jackets or occupation-era uniforms.

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

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 highly collectible US M4 Bayonet manufactured by the famous CASE cutlery company. Designed for the M1 Carbine. Included is the correct M8A1 scabbard made by BM CO (Beckwith Manufacturing). The bayonet is in used condition. Condition Note: As is common with vintage leather-handled knives, the washers have dried and shrunk over time. This has resulted in the crossguard becoming loose (wobbly).

Original Rangers "Diamond" patch. The patch is in perfect condition. It does not glow under UV lamp see photo.

Genuine World War II era US Army Glider Badge. Marked "STERLING" silver. Authentic pin back construction. Issued to Glider Infantry and airborne troops. Excellent vintage condition with patina..

A hard-to-find pair of 1st Pattern M1941 HBT Trousers. Distinguished by the internal front and rear pockets (no large cargo pockets like the 2nd pattern). Stamped size 32 x 31. While the fabric is structurally excellent and durable, the trousers feature significant authentic oil staining and grime throughout. This "salty" patina makes them absolutely perfect for a Motor Pool, Tanker, or Mechanic impression, where pristine gear would look out of place.

Genuine World War II era M1916 holster for the .45 caliber pistol. Clearly dated 1944. Embossed "US" flap. Good used condition with authentic patina.
