Sure, This one is dressed in brown camo. The other one I have (Its packed away, somewhere) has a green camo parachute. I do not remember the color of his jump suit though. I like the little parachute bag attached in back. The toy was patented about 1938. When we went to war EVERYBODY went to war. It can be found in some doll books.

doyler Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Dave: Thats good to know, i have never seen or heard of any others until now.Any chance of some pictures.......517th. I have two Raggy Doodles also.One is a little worse for wear,most of one leg missing.On the chute its marked(very faintly):US and Canadian Paratroops Ft.William Henery Harrison.I got it with some First Special Service Forces Items.I may try to restore the leg.Appears to be mouse damage. The other is quite large,about the size of a 1960s GI Joe(1/6th scale?)It is completely decked out in parachute silk camo material. I had a post on First Special Service Force items and you may be able to see them there.If not I will try to repost.
