Fantastic items.

Yes it is and thank you.   Scott

Is the 1942 leather tab on the Tropical belt? Nice piece. Dave

Along with the fallschirmjager items and the hats and caps, Wendel McKee also sent these belts and buckles home.  A nice tropical Army, a standard Army on a leather belt, and an RAD on a leather belt.        Scott

More of the Wendel McKee souvenirs from Friday. In addition to the para items, he also had this Army M43 cap and Field Cap as well as this nice Luftwaffe communications NCO visor cap.      Scott

From the son Wendel Mckee a 9th Division veteran, this modified FJ jacket with added flare loops to the sleeves and an additional pocket. Inside the pocket were the three colored pencils.  The pencils.     Scott

Received this on Friday from the son of Wendel McKee, a 9th Division vet. An amazing M38 with a camo paint job and a nice wire wrap. It is named to Eggert and retains a visible eagle beneath the paint. There were also other items in this group to include a modified Luftwaffe jump jacket which I will share in the appropriate area.      Scott

Unfortunately no, a fellow collector gifted them to me

Those very interesting sticks. Do you have any additional details about their history?

The two small-size original photographs are no longer available... sorry!     

This should be posted in the US forum since it’s a US tanker helmet.

Thank you. This is what I suspected... As far as the pain, I will try to pull up some other pictures I have seen with the same paint... I've also seen them in the typical dark green like on a erstz Bayonet scabbard...
