Guys, I'm the luckiest guy ever. Story of why and how will follow later. It'll take about a week, but you're looking at a full provenance 87th Infantry 10th Mountain Div helmet from 1945. This will be one of the best 10th mountain lots to have come out in a long time. This has all rosters, WIA, KIA, where, when, how, and to boot, this guy was a Kiska vet, so lots of Jap souvenirs too, all tagged with war trophy tags. Mostly paperwork, no gear other than souvenirs, guy was a radio guy in the infantry. Trained radios at Ft. Benning. Drafted AAC in 42. Camp Hale, Carson, Swift, Italy, everything the 87th did. I can't believe how luck I am. Letters from camp to home, overseas to home, lots of war trophies, in country made 87th Regiment and 10th Div in country made patches, collar insignia and unit insignia. Italian made CIBs. It is incredible. His original Kiska Task Force oilcloth patch (very well used). Bulk of his stuff is in treacherous condition, but the German and Jap souvenirs ain't going anywhere. This will be a double post on USMF also… there's a set of random dog tags I can't ID. Hex shaped out of cardboard? with very western European names. Seems very POW or Dutch or something like that. It'll all be pictured in due time. For now, enjoy a legit (but rough) FJ helmet taken from Italy. Please note former white wash or tropical camo.
