10th Mountain IDing

[Happy Hooligan]

It's not Flight jacket related, but it is WWII and high altitude so maybe? lol

I just recently acquired an enormous collection of WWII 10th Mountain Division clothing and some gear.

Any experts on this gear?

I have jackets, parkas, sleeping gear, backpacks, boots, misc gear too. Tons of stuff and all fantastic.

If you know about their specialty gear please let me know some info on it.

I know reenactors are always begging for repro companies to make this stuff, but there's not a lot of actual call after the first 10 requests.

Love to see pictures. No caps?

Just one cap, but not the main style. I'll take some pics of some of it.

okay some pics of some of the stuff. I literally got a museum display of stuff! Boots, jackets, Backpacks. Anyone know what the white lining piece goes into? Plus the Jeep jacket, 2 M41's 1 m43 and other jackets too! I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all.

Where are the M-41s and the M-43?

Not that the reversible parka and anorak aren't eye candy.

Great score, you got the whole shebang of US jackets right there, and the boots are hard to come by, congrats!

Congrats, nice catch!
Would love to see details of the Conmatic zip on one of the M-41 jackets.
Thankyou in advance!

Bah. Wonder what happened to the original tag?

A victim of government property worry, no doubt.
