US Army Chaplains kit

I brought this Chaplains kit home yesterday after visiting a friend. He told me to take it home and pay him later. You and I know what that means time to starting looking under the seat cushions for folding money and not change.
I believe the kit dates to the early 1960’s and is designed for a Protestant or Catholic serve. Chaplain kits are hard to find but have a very small collector circle.

I hope you enjoy,
Marty

John,
Thanks for the thumbs up. Yes chaplain kits are a rare bird and getting very hard to find. In the past a Chaplains Church would buy the kit or the military would provide the kit and at the end of the enlistment the Chaplain could take his kit home now the chaplain is issued a kit and has to turn the kit in upon leaving.
