shrapneldude Posted February 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 6, 2010 Found this inside an old first aid kit at an estate sale today. Pretty sure it didn't belong in there, but not sure where and when such an item would've been used. Would this have been something carried by say a Battalion Surgeon or Navy sick bay officer? It's full of different types of forceps. Fairly interesting item, being khaki, I'm assuming WWII era but really don't know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cobrahistorian Posted February 6, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 6, 2010 Very cool piece, Dan! Any dates or anything on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrapneldude Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted February 6, 2010 No dates that I can find anywhere...but most of the forceps have markings on them. "MD USN" is on almost all of them, and what I assume to be different manufacturers' names or perhaps models? No dates on them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted February 6, 2010 Share #4 Posted February 6, 2010 Danny I believe you will find this set in Corpsmans bags as well.This is one of a variety of tool sets used by Naval medical personel. Great find RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
