BigDogMilitaria Posted June 29, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2018 Being a dog lover, i have been after a WWII Dog vest for years. Have never seen one other than on the forum a few years ago. I was elated to find this one the other day along with a couple of manuals. Will have to find a life sized stuffed dog to put it on for display. I dont think it will fit one of my big labs!

USARV72 Posted July 6, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2018 9 mile surplus outside of Detroit used to have lots of then back in the 90's. Heard they closed and have not heard where their stuff went. QM museum when in Petersburg used to have an excellent War Dog display. Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of a surplus store right in my back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
