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 genuine piece of Eastern Front history: German Patronenkasten 34 (ammunition box for MG34/42). This example is stamped with the year "40" (1940). It is a classic "Russian Capture" item, having been repainted with Soviet green paint over the original finish during post-war storage or reuse. The box is structurally sound with working latches and handles.

A pristine World War II original shoulder sleeve insignia for the US Airborne Command. This iconic patch was worn by paratroopers and glidermen during their initial training phases before being assigned to combat divisions like the 82nd or 101st. The design features the dual imagery of a glider and a parachute on a red shield. Authenticated by its Cut Edgeconstruction and the classic "Snowy Back" white bobbin thread on the reverse.

A scarce and highly desirable World War II original: The regimental patch for the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment (511th PIR), part of the 11th Airborne Division ("The Angels"). Unlike the common ETO patches, insignia from the Pacific Theater (PTO) are much harder to find. This patch features the iconic "Angel" paratrooper design. It passes the UV light test (does not glow) and features the classic "Snowy Back" reverse and Cut Edge construction. Includes the AIRBORNE tab.

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).
