Evening All -

 

This arrived today and I had to take some snaps and post it up.

A used in theatre USMC named gas mask bag. This is named to

MELVIN S HOLSTEIN of the 1st BN, 6th MARIN, 2nd MAR DIV

 

Beautifully named and painted hand camo, features the 2nd marine Tac mark on the back in blue and B for Company B.

 

My helmet from the 2nd Marine Division was marked up with the same Tac mark but in yellow

 

Shows him in theatre in 1944 and 1945, he must have seen some serious warfare in the last years of the fighting in the pacific

 

Enjoy

 

Dean

Dean, a really nice bag that when you look at it;for me anyway, you can see that Marine with it in the jungle or on the beach. That is a great visual piece.

Couldnt agree more Marty

You can see him disembarking the LC and going ashore with this on his side.

Apparently these where used as ammo bags also, really wish it could talk.

 

Once again Thanks Marty
