-M-1910 Dismounted Cartridge Belt (Marked and Dated “Mills Nov.-18”
-Rare set of M-1907 Suspenders, Marked “Russell-Sept. 1918”
-M-1910 Wire Cutters with Unit Marked Pouch. The Wire Cutters are one of the nicst sets we have ever come across with excellent finish and “U.S.” Deeply stamped on both sides.
-M-1910 First Aid Pouch marked “JPS 1918”
-First Aid Dressing; Bauer & Black Dressing is dated August 1918. Sealed.
-M1910 Canteen, Cup, and Cover. Cover markings are obfuscated. The canteen is marked “US 1918 B.A. Co.”, the Cup is marked “US/ AGM Co/ 1918.
Overall, all pieces are in excellent condition considering their age. Since doughboys often would ditch their M-1910 Haversacks and fight with only the bare essentials (as what is listed here), this would make for an ideal display paired with an M-1912 Tunic and M-1917 Helmet on a torso mannequin!
