Almost complete WW2 USMC setup

[bowlin7178]

I've been working on this for years, only missing the suspenders and shelter half, all is original pieced together from where ever i could find it, 3 or 4 different names, the helmet is a first pattern but later used in Korea, stenceled to the 27th marines i guess, might be letting it go soon to fund another project, we'll see.

looks really good you should try to get a mannequin to display it all with to finish it all off thanks for sharing

Awesome set up I would like to get a marine display eventually... and every other one but specifically a marine ordinance to honor my grandmas brother ever since I talked to him Ive wanted to start a display but the stuff is hard to find. Thanks for sharing -Ben

Lovely lot there
I'm jealous of the M1 belt, does it have USMC on the rear? you should be able to find the straps pretty easily and cheaply.
The helmet cover is Army HBT material, compare the HBT weave to your shirt there, it should be like that.

Yes, the belt is clearly marked U.S.M.C

Nice I do not have one in my lot and I still jealous of yours!
I once had a chance for a pair at a local gun show and I only had $50 at the time and had to dice it., but I went for M1021a goggles instead!!!
One of my deep regrets

Very nice set up. This is all I have managed to aquire so far!!! Original Boondockers and trousers are the hardest bits to get and they cost a fortune.
