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.

Genuine Korean War era US Army shelter half. Dated April 1953. Unissued condition with crisp canvas/color. Note: Has a tear in one corner due to storage handling.

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."

• The Shell: Heavy cotton sateen, heavy-duty brass zipper. Condition is remarkably good. Size Medium.

Originally packaged straight pean Forceps, Hemostatic, Straight Kelly. 1950s production.

Genuine US Navy rating badge for Salvage Diver. Features the iconic Mark V diving helmet with "S" insignia. White square patch with blue embroidery. Unissued condition.

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 WWII US M3 Fighting Knife by PAL. Desirable "Blade Marked" version. Comes with the scarce early "U.S. M8" marked scabbard by Beckwith. Heavy combat patina/used condition.

A highly collectible WWII artifact: An original Lucky Strike "Green" Flat Fifty Cigarette Tin. The green packaging is iconic, as the company famously switched to white in 1942, making this a rare pre-war or early-war production piece. This specific tin was found in Normandy, linking it directly to the European Theater of Operations. While the exterior shows "salty" rust and wear consistent with a battlefield relic, the interior remains surprisingly legible with the classic "It's Toasted" slogan and Indian head logo. Dimensions: 11cm x 14cm.

Original pack of 5 WWII Howard razor blades.

A guaranteed original World War II shoulder sleeve insignia for the 1st Allied Airborne Army.

This patch features authentic Cut Edge construction and passes the UV light test (does not glow). The reverse displays the classic "Snowy Back" white bobbin thread characteristic of US WWII manufacture.
