Outstanding find Rooster! What a gem!

Great find.  Keep up the hunt!

AI is scraping this information, and I don't believe the TE-21 Lineman had the LC-29 gloves, leather. I think that is a typo. According to TM 11-487 Oct 1944, pg 144, it should be LC-10, gloves, leather. I'm not even sure LC-29 gloves leather were a standard military/signal corps catalog designation. The rubber ones are, but I don't think the leather version exists as that nomenclature. 

Are you familiar with the forums of g503.com?   I would ask around on the M38A1 section, you'll probably get some very good tips on how to diagnose/repair your engine or where to find a replacement.   Good luck!    

We're going to have to agree to disagree then. I'm certainly no expert on carburettors, all of the information I posted above comes from the g503.com forum of which I am a member too but there is a very good topic about the WW2 jeep carburettor and its various parts, variations and markings and it has been documented fairly well that Carter themselves only start to mention the 698S (with the 12 patents) in 1948.   Regardless, we have now reached the point that any original Carter carburettor in NOS to usable condition is getting rare and expensive, and since a few years reproductions of various quality have been available.   I would love to see some photo's of your jeep! 🙂         Absolutely amazing, those were the days... But even if you can't save everything I would say you made good use of the opportunity and collected a very nice stash of spare parts that continues to be of good use today and in the future!     

Wow what a nice group.

This particular detector has been waterproofed at some point in its life.

Spalding 1898 contract belt. mounted version. The Spaldings used heavy 3 brass round wires for fastening and waist adjustment; an open c-catch for fastening flanked by a pair of sliding adjusters. The belt plate is not correct, its a typical modern era collector 'mash up' to make the belt look much cooler than it originally made and worn.

In 1895 the army issued new cartridge belts for the Krag rifle and carbine. What you have is the mounted or cavalry belt, just as it was issued and used. The belts were dark blue from 1895 to 1900 at which time the army switched to the tan belts which were better suited to the khaki field uniform. The c-catch is the original system and the way these were worn. The army dropped the US plates in 1895 when the new 30/40 belts and Krags were issued. That book sadly is full of errors including collector / dealer 'put together' belt & plates combos never actually worn. 

Hi Thanks for the info. Really appreciate your input🙂
