“Paratrooper” gloves are of a specific design.. if you’re asking have your gloves been used by a paratrooper, there is no definitive answer without provenance…   if your gloves are the “M42 officer gloves “ then there is always a possibility 

Thanks, very helpful  

Gardens of Stone (1987) mediocre reviews, but worth watching.   Taking Chance (2009); some of the acting is stilted, but it is effective in portaying the return of a real KIA (Iraq) Marine to his final resting place. It also shows the guilt felt by some service personnel who were not in the fight.   Restrepo (2010) -documentary on Afganistan, so not Hollywood per se; but very real portrayal of the small unit US Army fights in isolated places in that war- warts and all.

Only owned one of those a WWW Timor British issued hope you started early the prices on those are shooting up. And the price for a Grana WWW is nuts.

Got the second hand sorted out. Plus got the correct Hamilton movement dust cover.

See how the crown cover and chain look like a cap and chain on a military canteen you drink water from just a nick name collectors call them.

Did Hollywood make any good banana war films.

Lawrence of Arabia.  1962   Any war film by Samuel Fuller. ... including these. The Big Red One.... 1980 The Steel Helmet (1951): Often cited as the first film about the Korean War. Fixed Bayonets! (1951): Focuses on a group of soldiers holding a mountain pass in Korea. Hell and High Water (1954): A Cold War submarine film. China Gate (1957): Set during the French war in Indochina. Verboten! (1959): Drama set in post-WWII Germany. Merrill's Marauders (1962): Depicts the U.S. Army's long-range penetration jungle warfare unit in Burma.     Film about Ernie Pyle... WW2 Reporter The Story of G.I. Joe 1945    The Red Badge of Courage 1951   To Hell and Back 1955   Das Boot 1981   The tanks are coming  1951        

This might already be common knowledge, but has anyone else ever noticed the use of a “WT” M1 Bayonet in Band of Brothers Episode 5?   See screen shots below from right around the 38:37 mark of the ‘Crossroads’ episode.     Also shows Greek numbering on guard so I guess you can add that to the list of ‘inaccuracies’…
