AVIATION COLLECTIBLES
The grouping includes: Ike blouse (tunic), Visor cap, Long sleeved class A shirt, Tie, Trousers. This is a very complete grouping, has not been in a collection, was purchased from the estate. All markings are as shown in the photos above and are original to the uniform. The visor is a very nice EM visor complete with original back strap and emblem and features a very nice shape that indicates the style of wear at the time. The aircrew wings are the earlier pinback style and are marked "sterling", maker mark unlegible. The blouse and shirt are a size 38R. The shirt has the same markings as the blouse except there is an AAF patch on the shirt (left shoulder) instead of the 8th AAF patch that appears on the blouse. Feel free to email or call with questions. Wings are uncleaned, all items are in very good condition.
This torso harness has been in my collection for many years. Now that I have enough harnesses for my displays it's time to let another collector have the chance to enjoy a great piece. The harness is in very good condition, all items are original to the harness. It's getting very hard to find these harnesses that have not been de-milled with the Koch fittings removed. The harness is a larger size and the straps have not been cut down.
This mid Vietnam era helmet and mask set are original to each other and are in very good condition. The visor is virtually scratchless, while the helmets original avionics and interior is excellent.
This cap would be hard to upgrade, the bullion clouds and lightning bolts are wonderful. Manufactured by Berkshire Deluxe, and named to "Col. W.E. Beightol, the cap would be a great addition to any early USAF collection.
This is an original flag/window banner brought back from WWII (recieved from vet), shows some age, but a great WWII era piece. This would be a great accent for any WWII Luftwaffe aircraft displays.
This HBT is a dark olive drab shade, features expanding breast pockets, 6 button front, and the 13 star buttons. The jacket is in very good condition and displays wonderfully. Because of the smaller Master Sergeant chevrons (blue on gold) which represented combat, and the fact they were only issued from 1948 to 1951 it is safe to say that the jacket was continued to be used by the original owner post WWII as well. The size is a 38R
This piece measures approx. 11' x 14", it is still under the original glass and backing. There is a material border on the glass that is showing it's age, but the original print and award ribbon is in very nice condition.
The parka is in very good condition, no stains, tears, or holes. The size is large and is marked on the inner linning "644". On the outside of the parka is a faint name stencilled on the left pocket "Pete"
The three pieces are in above average condition with no major cracks or brakes. The center windshield being the very heavy laminated bullet proof glass is in great shape, while the 2 side pieces show only minor scuffing. This would make a great display for any Worthog fan. The rough edges that you see around the side pieces is caulking that has not been removed.
This M12A2 is dated 1944 and manufactured by E.K. Co. . Other markings on this telescope are as follows: Panoramic Telescope, M12A2, No. 23415, F.J.A., E.K. Co., 1944. I don't really know that much about these scopes but I do know they were widely used on the 105mm Howitzer, in the motor carriage the M7 "Priest". Made of brass the piece is very heavy but appears to be in good condition.
This is an original bomb from the stated era. The bomb is in very nice condition for it's age, no major rusting or dents. Feel free to email with questions, please be advize it may be overnight before I can answer because this bomb is kept at our home.
