After years of searching, my first big garage sale find. I got all of the below items from one sale for a grand total of $7.

 

Anyone know about this rifle case? It is padded, opens on one end.

1943 dated .50 shell, 2nd ID patch, one 78th Id patch is a greenback, 1942 dated New Testament, B-2 and B-3 ration units, 1945 dated canteen.

 

I also picked up 4 German WW2 zeltbahns for $5. They had been sewn together to create one monster tent, I'm working on getting them back to original condition. The one below is dated 1943.

I think this is the carrying case for a Navy THX-8 radio whip antenna see the bag on the ground in this photo.

That is indeed the part number for the antenna case for the TBX-2 radio system.

Thanks for the info, today my Korean War vet neighbor said the same thing about the case. And I thought it was a rifle case. :/
