Starting to collect a full US Army GI display

[Neil Hever]

Taka, Good news - thanks! Where would I find the instruction tag? NH

[SHINDENKAI]

Hi Neil,

Here is my example with the instruction label attached. Mine is a 36R, 370-D.



Regards,
Taka

[Neil Hever]

Taka, Thanks for the quick reply. Apparently, the tag is missing. I think there is only a size stamp. NH

[SHINDENKAI]

The instruction tags are usually missing.

Still a nice clean looking example.

Here is my service shirt with protective gas hood.

This service shirt has an anti-gas flap, but with rear GAS FLAP stampings on. Probably a prototype / experimental batch.

Hope they help.

Regards,
Taka

Nice stuff. Rich A. in Pa.

Cotton underclothing! What do you folks think of these cotton items? I am not sure if the undershirt is from the WWII era. It has no markings. The shorts look WWII. Any thoughts? NH

[rra227]

Looks like it. What size? Mine are marked in the neck area. Rich A. in Pa.

[Neil Hever]

The shorts are marked size 30. All markings in the shirt have disappeared. The undershirt is small and I assume it is a 36 or 38 size chest. NH

Hi Neil, they look fine to me.

Hi Taka, I used to own a shirt with Gas Flap markings the same as yours.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade. Well on my way. I think I still need wool trousers, trouser belt, socks, a "jeep cap" and combat boots. I want to get the rough out instead of the boot/leggings combo. Once that is all together I will post a photo of the ensemble. After that - field equipment! NH
