thanks. Any idea on the value? 

It's a shame to see this group broken up.  I wonder if the vendor has his federal awards as well.

That's sad to hear. I bought canvas parts for the MB from them a long time ago.   

A lamp usually indicates knowledge, teaching & instruction. Medical School? My guess.   P.S. ...Found it, Army School of Nursing, 1918.     W

Please post some better photos of the two 14th AAF patches.  It looks like you may have at least one good one, and if so, that is a nice patch.   I agree with doyler on the other two.  

Sure, better than nothing.   I guess it would be better to remove the Drinking Water kit and replace it with a bag for flares and a launcher.  Looks like your kit has a flares/launcher bag.

hello Jerry   thanx for the message and the pictures. Yes I was aware, a few pieces are not too corrrect if compared to the official listing, as well as the spot being left empty by the missing flares   -   I had got one surplus Drinking Water Kit (the other being inside the USAAF C-2 pararaft kit) so, I put that in place of the flares. The said Water Kit is unopened and complete inside.   For the rest I'm quite satisfied this way. This is the only survival kit I really wished to get, sooner or later, virtually completed    -    the other two M-592s on display as worn by the pilots (one for each of manufacturers) are without the original contents, and the same is for my very recent B-4 USAAF Survival Kit (mfg. by Companion Bags, Co.). This latter is a great finding, even if empty and missing most of straps that turned it into a back-type kit, when needed. As a seat-type pack I put it together w/ the C-2 pararaft and the standard seat cushion.  

Amazing, thank you!

Wow, nice pricey kit, Franco!    I guess the FA kit is a little bit messed (I'm not sure about some brands of the two components, but still not bad! It looks like an extra pocket has been added at the flap.    Here are a couple of shots of Dustin kits, complete (including correct FA six unit set) for comparing them.
