Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:46274730 |
In the US Army of WW2, three non-combatant medics were attached to each infantry company. These brave, selfless troopers carried an array of medical supplies in medium size kit bags to administer battlefield first aid. This US Army WW2 MEDIC KHAKI KIT BAG is in fair condition, with a bit of fraying to the upper left edge of the front closure strap, heavy patina to the two rivets at the upper right side and the far left grommet of the lower front strip, a frayed hole in the right si...de and the left bottom, a 2" frayed tear/seam tear in the top left side edge, a crack across the entire interior right side cardboard stiffener, the entire bottom half of the interior left cardboard stiffener having broken away long ago, some scattered small holes and tears throughout, and with moderate overall dark soiling and age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the bag is in fair shape, with no other damage to the tough khaki canvas construction. Most interestingly, it boasts a fully functional strap and buckle closure top flap, sports the classic row of darkened brass cinching grommets on a strip of khaki canvas at the lower front and back, and features the original darkened brass hanging rings and spring hooks at the upper sides. An honest example of a rare, original US Army WW2 MEDIC KHAKI KIT BAG. No shoulder strap or contents included. We have shown a LIFE Magazine photo of a US Army medic in the Battle of the Bulge wearing similar kit bags. Now celebrating over 20 years on eBay.
