Hello, all!
I took a ride with my girlfriend to the famous fort at Ticonderoga. There was this antique store on the way that had "militaria" on their sign, so of course I had to stop in.
They had A LOT of stuff... from American Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, WWI and WWII. I wasn't there for any serious buying, so I got these for cheap.
The messkit is kind of a mystery to me... I saw the lid is marked 1941, but I was disappointed to see that the body is marked 1954. I'm assuming it's a Bundeswehr reissue?
The wooden dummy shell has the flaming bomb emblem on it, but I fear that might be post war too...
The service flag is made of cardboard and is marked "DESIGN PATENTED NOV. 6, 1917"
Finally, I got a U.S. asia/pacific campaign medal. I'm confident this one is legit.
If any of this stuff ends up being bad, I honestly won't be too broken up about it. I spent about $45 dollars on it all.
