I bought these many years ago at the OGCA gun show in Cleveland. They are a master bundle of 10 pairs of Mittens, Insert Trigger Finger, still tied together and as new as the day they were made. The single pair shown, I bought at the same time from a broken bundle and is identical to those in the complete bundle. I really love to collect the militaria in this level of unissued condition and it is getting very hard to find anymore.

very nice. I'm used to seeing Korean War mittens but these are the first WW2 vintage ones I've seen.

Thanks Greg. In WWII these mittens actually came in two styles, which differed by where the trigger finger was located. These being the early design (1942) had the trigger finger on the top of the mitten and the later designs had the trigger finger on the underside of the mitten. adjacent to the thumb.

 

BTW. Another interesting thing is the size, EX. Large which actually is a real people size. These mittens are really big, even on my hands.
