A magnificent and historically significant collector's set: Original Korean War M-1951 Fishtail Parka. This set is exceptional because all components are US Marine Corps issued, and the liner features the rare stencil "C. W. Bn.". This stands for Cold Weather Battalion, the specialized unit formed in 1951 at Pickel Meadows to train Marines for the freezing conditions of Korea (Chosin Reservoir campaign).
The Hood: Dated 1951, "U.S. Marine Corp." stamped, real fur ruff.
The Liner: Wool pile, stamped "U.S. Marine Corps Depot of Supplies" and "C. W. Bn."

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 complete set of the iconic AN/PRC-10 Manpack Radio, widely used during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Includes the radio unit, carrying harness, accessory pouch, both short and long antennas, and an H-33 handset (1975 contract). Sold as a collectible display piece; functionality is not guaranteed.
Authentic 48-Star United States Flag (Grid Pattern). Issued between 1912-1959. Heavy cotton bunting with sewn stripes. Size approx. 220x126cm. Features distinct "battle worn" look with field-repaired grommets. Historical original.
An exceedingly rare piece of US Special Forces history: The WWII Original Scroll of the 7th Ranger Battalion. Often referred to by collectors as a "Phantom Unit", patches for the 7th Bn were manufactured late in the war in anticipation of the unit's activation, which was ultimately cancelled or short-lived before deployment. Despite the unit's obscure history, the patch features undeniable wartime construction: embroidery on black wool felt with a Cut Edge and a standard "Snowy Back" reverse. Essential for completing a Ranger Scroll collection.
M1905 bayonet from 1942. Producer U.C.
Two boxes of original US slides for aircraft recognition training. One box contains 168pcs and the other 150pcs. The lids of the boxes are torn on the sides.

Genuine US Marine Corps P44 Utility Cover. Made of Herringbone Twill (HBT) fabric. Features the distinct wider visor. Faded EGA stencil on front. Size 7. Authentic vintage condition with wear on the bill.
A distinctive and desirable variation of World War II airborne insignia: A background trimming (oval) for the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment (11th Airborne Division) featuring integral embroidered Jump Wings. Unlike standard ovals used with pinned metal badges, this fully embroidered version was favored for comfort and a streamlined look on tropical uniforms in the Pacific Theater. It passes the UV light test (does not glow) and features a pristine "Snowy Back"reverse.
Rare early production US M3 Fighting Knife by Kinfolks Inc. Blade stamped "U.S. M3 KINFOLKSINC 1943". Paired with a correct early "B.M.CO" M8 scabbard (no wire hook). Authentic combat carried condition.
A Holy Grail for WWII collectors: Original US Army issue Camouflage HBT Trousers. Significantly rarer than their USMC counterparts, these were famously issued to Army units (like the 2nd Armored) during Operation Cobra in Normandy and saw limited use in the Pacific. Condition is NOS (New Old Stock) – crisp and unissued. Rare size 34x33.
A world-class collector's item. These are Experimental USMC Trousers in Frogskin (Duck Hunter) camouflage, originating from the Test Series produced prior to the adoption of the standard P1941 utility uniform. An incredibly scarce developmental piece intended for advanced collections and museums.
