      what patch is this?

      By jumpship · Posted

      I'm pretty sure it is a 3rd Army patch. The 733rd FAB was a non-divisional asset.   These two examples are from this 733rd FAB website: http://www.733rd.org/     Dan

      WW2 Gas Mask?

      By Gear Fanatic · Posted

      Looks custom made, could be something made with extra parts by a surplus store post war, or best case it’s some sort of “rigger item” definitely not something that was factory made in my opinion.

      WW2 Gas Mask?

      By DeadDogClub · Posted

      Thank you!  That does fit more with the flap on looking up pics!   I am wondering if what I thought was a “7” in the inside flap corner is actually a British broad arrow mark?

      can't make out what patch this was in Army during Korean War 1950-53

      The style chevron being worn (small size gold on blue - for non-combatants) was worn from 1948 to 1951, so this photo dates from the first part of your grandfather’s Army service.

      WW2 M41 jacket and assault gas mask carrier

      By Andersen44 · Posted

      Here’s a couple of things I’ve picked up last week. This m41 jacket and this D-Day gas mask carrier. I’m putting together a 29th in div uniform and these were two big pieces I needed. The collar on the jacket is repaired. im not sure if that’s period done or post war. Does anyone have a guess?

      Tuscany is beautiful! My brother who currently lives in Switzerland just bought a house in Tuscany which he plans on moving to when he retires in the Fall. I look forward to visiting him there.

      Unknown Trench Knife

      By Manky bandage · Posted

      Well I did a bit of digging, and came across Nortex. A grabbed a few screenshots of various knives that to me have some similarities. Whilst obviously not a conclusive identification, I don't think its far off from its origins. Could it be Nortex Cutlery Co. in North Dallas? Either way, I love it.

      WW2 Gas Mask?

      By mikie · Posted

      Hi. And welcome to the forum. I have no good ID for your bag, but that flap looks more like what’s on map cases. Try poking around looking at those. Good luck, and let us know what it is when you find out.  mikie
