GeneralCheese Posted April 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2014 These are some of the other items coming in a lot I purchased on eBay yesterday. It looks like a great group of items, with a painted and named duffel bag, almost mint canteen, and an assortment of other neat gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted April 16, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 16, 2014 Tanker lot and painted seabag to boot. Make sure you post the seabag in our painted seabag thread when you get it, they're always enjoyable to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uplandmod Posted April 16, 2014 Share #10 Posted April 16, 2014 Not just any kind of tanker, it's an Armored Amtrac!! Incredible find! LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCheese Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted April 16, 2014 Did some research on USMC Amtracs and discovered that it is most likely an LVTA1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uplandmod Posted April 16, 2014 Share #12 Posted April 16, 2014 It's most likely the LVT (A)4 since it has a hangover on the back of the turret. LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David D Posted April 16, 2014 Share #13 Posted April 16, 2014 WOW!, that sea bag is amazing great find. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCheese Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted April 18, 2014 Well it is here, and there is more art on it than I originally believed. Here's some pictures of it and some of the other gear. It's dark right now so the lighting isn't any good, but hopefully these give you an idea.

GeneralCheese Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted April 18, 2014 The canteen set is in incredible condition, and along with it came with 4 belts, 2 of them with buckles like the one pictured, and one named. Also a wool hat with EGA. Does anyone know what type of belts these are, and when the EGA is from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Man Posted April 18, 2014 Share #16 Posted April 18, 2014 Nice lot....really like the painted seabag, the EGA is a standard WWII enlisted one for the collar/OS cap. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCheese Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share #18 Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks USdog. This came out of Missouri, if that helps you out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCheese Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share #19 Posted April 18, 2014 I will most likely be putting this on the for sale forum soon, since this is a little outside my collecting range and I don't have the space to display it properly. Keep an eye out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCheese Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share #20 Posted May 4, 2014 Just so you know, I have listed the bag on eBay so message me if you want a link to the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
