Condition isn’t the issue, content and composition are. And it coming with other items from the veteran has zero bearing on originality. A local WWII PIR veteran had a mix of original and repro items in his estate - some of which was named / gifted to him by friends and family. In particular was a jump jacket that he had made up to wear to events - patched-out with wings on it. One of his friends gave him a better-quality repro German dagger, adding to the mix. The only thing that makes an item original is originality. Not how it came, not who it came from. -

I believe they were issued to open armored vehicles like half tracks and scout cars. There was a bracket on the inner wall to store the Thompson in this case. -

You'll find Chinese company's legally and illegally branding knives and and other random items with well known trademarks and logos, you'll also find American companies being paid money by a 3rd party to do the same thing, usually made in China too. Occasionally you can get good well known knife company sourcing blade material from China too, one company that does this well would be the likes of Spyderco... Take it from me, the knife world is a murky and sometimes deceptive environment to traverse. *cough Bark River cough* -

Pristine indeed! My lighter collecting interests commence with the Korean War, so I have no direct experience with WW2 "Black-Crackle" lighters. I have heard of fakers using "Rhino Liner" truck bed spray to approximate the WW2 finishes. On the plus side your Park-Sherman insert appears just as clean as the cases exterior. Follow up when you have it in-hand. -

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the seabag. Plenty of well preserved examples out there in the same shape and condition. Not every single one got ran over by a tank and beat with a bat. I’ve seen seabags come from vet estates that are beautifully painted. Plus this bag came with more from the vet estate. -
