Alyx07 Posted July 21, 2020 Share #127 Posted July 21, 2020 I don’t think it’s necessarily rare but I also love my 1945 Callaway Mills canteen cover that didn’t get the front stitches that covers usually have. I just think it looks unique and pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottz63 Posted February 5, 2021 Share #129 Posted February 5, 2021 My rarest piece I think. My WW1 U.S. Navy/U.S.M.C. first aid kit. Picked up at a local antiques mall a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Apathy Posted February 5, 2021 Share #130 Posted February 5, 2021 . Hi Rusty, From the Shoebox . . . . . . . this is my WWII mountain / ski troops spare fuel container, these are quite a rare WWII piece to find. Somewhere in my files I have the patent plans for this can but they are AWOL at the moment. I believe that there are post-war models which were slightly different in design. regards lewis . . .

Hi eaglerunner, Not certain but I think this pack may be seen in the wartime Explosives & Demolitions manual ' FM5-25 ', you would need to make sure it's a WWII copy and not a post war up-dated copy. cheers lewis .

eaglerunner88 Posted March 21, 2021 Share #135 Posted March 21, 2021 Thanks for the info Ken! I'll pass it on to my buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted March 21, 2021 Share #136 Posted March 21, 2021 I’m guessing those demolition bags were so rare because they were meant to explode with the contents. Nice piece for sure! Didn’t realize they were marked with a maker and date on them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglerunner88 Posted March 30, 2021 Share #137 Posted March 30, 2021 So I've discovered that it's a first pattern demolition bag (backpack) which held 20 x 1/2lb blocks of TNT along with fuses, tools and detonators. Apparently it was phased out by 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAN12094 Posted May 25, 2021 Share #138 Posted May 25, 2021 Nothing really rare just harder to find the first one is the more rarer of them. one of my favorite pieces right now I can’t decide between the 3. m24 aircraft chemical biological protective mask and priceless pice of my family’s history some of my grandfathers army items and the last one is my decked out m40a1 it’s not that rare but the dates are all matching except for the vpu and tinted lenses.

GLCC74 Posted July 22, 2021 Share #144 Posted July 22, 2021 Here is my WW1 Medical Officers belt, made by Mills in 1918. It is shown with the 2 types of bottles that can be found, and the rare aluminum cup for them. One of the 5 pill bottles is still full, the diagnostic book is unused, I wrapped it in plastic for safe storage. This belt has the LTD fasteners, I also have another belt, which has the eagle snap buttons, but it is not as complete as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglerunner88 Posted July 23, 2021 Share #146 Posted July 23, 2021 Incredibly rare find with those sealed WWI hardbread tins! No idea how they have gone unopened for the last 100 years. Each is easily worth a couple hundred dollars. Very nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
