Most of this equipment was bought at antique shows in the country sides of Belgium and Normandy. I tried to show it in the collectors section to see what anyone thought of it but no one seemed to want to voice their opinion. So maybe I can get one here.
This is the german helmet.
German helmet liner.
US Army Helmet. Netting was added for effect. Not original, although I do have original netting that was worn by a member of the 101st. My dad knows this because he gave it to him.
US helmet liner inside.
US helmet liner outside.
US military canteen. Stamped US on front. A.P.Co. 1942 on bottom. True historians will know something about the cap being metal.
Webgear - Belt is a remake, ammo bandoliers are original, suspenders are original and are stamped with the numbers 7682 on the outer shoulder. Theres a few other stamps but some im not able to read. Medical kit reads, H.S.BW Shoe Co. 1942 on back. Oh yeah by the way, you like my flowery sheets? My dog knocked a beer off my dresser on my old ones haha.
