JimD Posted June 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2019 If you saw it at a show, that is? Neither would I. It rates at about 100% condition and I would pass it up as a reenactor item. Wouldn't look twice at it. However, it just surfaced in the last few days in a pile of TR war booty directly from the veteran's family in Wisconsin. I bought it along with a few other items and it is absolutely genuine. The vet was a Third Division soldier who apparently walked through a factory after hostilities ceased. He had a good eye for booty. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
