Wwii Army Air Force Officer’s Original Crusher 7 1/4

Posted on October 4, 2021 by admin Posted in wwii

Wwii Army Air Force Officer's Original Crusher 7 1/4

WWII ARMY AIR FORCE. ORIGINAL OFFICER’S CRUSHER. This is an aged WWII Crusher with excellent condition wool (no moth nips, rips, snags, etc, to speak of). This has the standard sized emblem found on most hats, and the leather shows a little more than average aging/wear. The buckle area in the back is the worst spot, yet when displayed or worn, it is either never seen, or hardly seen, so it has been displayed for years. It says 7 1/4, I wear 7 1/4 in a hat size, and it fits perfectly (no shrinking), so it is very wearable for re-enacting if desired. Please see pictures for the most accurate condition, I took every view I could think of. Ooks like it has initials M? S, as seen in the picture showing the size tag, but they are nearly faded completely. I tried making heads or tails of who this could have belonged to, yet was never able to track down anything solid from the initials. This is leaving my personal collection because I have too many hats from WWII and need to start letting some go. Please ask questions before purchasing, and if there is a picture missing somehow, let me know, and I will get it/them to you ASAP. The item “WWII ARMY AIR FORCE OFFICER’S ORIGINAL CRUSHER 7 1/4″ is in sale since Tuesday, November 10, 2020. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\WW II (1939-45)\Original Period Items\United States\Hats & Helmets”. The seller is “calguy2012″ and is located in Littleton, Colorado.

RARE WWII German 10×80 Luftwaffe Flak Binoculars Doppelfernrohr WW2 CRO Fuess

Posted on September 24, 2021 by admin Posted in rare

RARE WWII German 10x80 Luftwaffe Flak Binoculars Doppelfernrohr WW2 CRO Fuess

A stunning example of the D. 10×80 Flak binoculars complete with the original rubber headrest pad, detachable front sunshades and Flakvisier AA attachment. This is one of a trio of Flakfernrohr just listed which were all US veteran bring-backs! Finished in the original ordnance tan paint, this particular pair are clearly maker coded’cro’, indicating manufacture by R. Fuess, Optische Industrie, Berlin. This maker is by far and away the rarest of all those which produced the 10×80! The optics are excellent and produce a lovely clear image with a superb field of view as is typical of the 10x80s. The ocular width adjustment remains fully functional. However, note that the only item which will require some attention is the filter adjustment dial, which is missing the cross bolt screw to attach to/operate the rotating mechanism on which it sits. Nevertheless, this is an incredibly rare set which is surely missing from many of even the most focussed of optics collections today!

Posted on September 1, 2021 by admin Posted in original

Original WW2 RAF 1940 Pattern Flying Boots WWII

This pattern of boots came into issue with the RAF during the Second World and were particularly popular with Bomber Command, earning the nickname of’bomber boots’. The boots are made from a brown coloured suede and feature a zip front, rubber soles by’Itshide’. The interior of the boots is sheepskin lined for warmth. Both boots retain their original zips which match and work as they should. The soles are originals and are a little cracked, as they so often are. The leather flap which sits behind the zipper on each boot bears size 7. The overall condition of the boots is good and they display well. There are some sections of the rubber galosh missing.
