rambob Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Criag. Great variety and condition as always. I will add the pile cap and the lambskin cap to the thread here. First the Lambskin cap.

dogfacedsoldier Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 About the only things I see missing are the face masks, both the blue and white versions. I have both, but have trouble sizing the photos. Jon Link to post Share on other sites

rambob Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Craig, FYI. I have an absolutely dentical Chamois face Mask to the one you posted. It also has a washed out intact QM tag and the eye holes are not cut out. Obviously not issued, unless there was an all blind WWII regiment. Now who the dickens would have washed these enough to hose the QM tags. Probably done when they were surplused. Bob "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

korea drab Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hood, Wool, OD, Special (also called Protective)This is the gas hood but was also used for cold weather protection.

jeren Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Craig,this is the hood that could be buttoned up with the HBT shirt neck? I see the two buttons sluts on the flap.Thanks for any advice. Your never ending collection is AMAZING!!!! Yes, you are right. It could be buttoned up with HBT (Or standart shirt, both have two buttons on the flap). HBT shirt and trousers treated with CC2 chloroamide + the hood served as protective clothing. Link to post Share on other sites
