WW1 British Trench Diggers Boot Protector.
Not seen one of these for same time, as used by British troops to attatche to the underside of there boots to protect the foot when using a shovel digging trenches etc. Condition is very good indeed.
British WW2 Webbed Shower Bag.
Something for everyone after a hard day in the field, well if your an officer maybe . Nice quirky item that i do not see come on the marked that often, condition is very good with the shower head being removable, no holes or fraying to the material and rope handle in strong condition. Yes i pressume its still usable but its too cold outside for me to try it out.
WW2 Canadian Anti Gas Hood.
No rips or tears and material is in supple condition, Canadian broad arrow markings and a faint makers stamp to the inside.
British Officers Private Purchase Map Case, Airbor
It would appear this example has had little service wear, condition is ''Tip Top''. The inside still retains its Newport retail label, all poppers are working and both plastic sleeves are clear. The rear leather ''Y'' strap is complete and the case still has its original cross strap present. Inside is found a short letter from the son of the veteran stating case was purchased by his father. You might remember the large grouping of items i recently listed belonging to Major Brooks, this case belonged to his father.
British Military Leather Attache Case with ID.
Nice to find a leather attatche case with known military use and having the original ownwers details present. The case is in good condition with supple body, one small row of stitching has come adrift but the case is complete and locks are in working condition, no key im afraid. The owners card to the front is for an officer in the Indian Air Formation. The officer in question is F.G.L.Phillips and another calling card has him down as an auctioneer so perhaps still part of the Phillips auction house.
British Wireless Set No.46.
In very nice condition with all its original finish and as show in the pics the interior components are complete. All top top switches are working and the webbed outer carrier is again in very nice condition. These 46 sets were initially produced for beach landings and its nice to find such a complete example. Weighs in at over 5 kilos so postage will be costly folks.
Japanese Flag and KIA Photos.
Small ''Meat Ball'' flag thats in used condition, no holes but has staining, both top ties are there. With this comes three photos of some Japanese KIA and POW's, photos look like the type given out the USMC.
British Victorian Artillery Military Buckle .
Nice Victorian Buckle with separatley applied central design, buckle has no issues and would clean up a treat. The term '' Ubique'' was used by Artillery and Engineer Regiments, not quite sure which regiment used this buckle?
German POW Personalised Aluminium Cigarette Case.
Type of cigarette case produced by POW's either for themselves or for trade etc. This one has a naval theme as seen by the hand work to the front, all sides are nicely tooled.
Original WW2 German Fat Dish, Orange Colour.
This is an original WW2 produced item not a plastic copy, opens up on a quater of a turn as expected, lid and bottom both same makers mark, no chips, cracks etc.
