Hello, first time here. Hope I get this right.
I have some old military equipment that I’ve gotten over the years and would like to start narrowing things down. Some I’m not sure what it is or what it’s worth? The first one I think is a marine poncho but not sure if it is or when it was made. Does not does not seem to have any markings on it that I can find. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Wow, I got it posted!!!
This is an interesting one. Any info on it an does it have any value? Thanks
Wet weather pants. Any idea of timeframe used and any value? Thanks
I believe it’s an Aircraft survival tool kit. Maybe Vietnam era? Is it worth much or just put it in the off road vehicle for emergencies?? Thanks
Might be worth more in a case of need off road than you'll get for it at a gunshow...
Here's a link telling you a bit about that one...

Thanks for the reply’s. Looks like I may have a few things just to put in the truck. I’m a bit surprised about the poncho though. Great video on it but seems it will be put in the tool/hunting bag with the axe thing. All good to know and thanks again.
1944 on the pick tool, 1945 maybe on the sheath? Put it in the truck next to the others?
What might this be? Has a bit of water marks on it maybe.
M13 roll is for the .30 cal ground guns and the digging mattock was at one time a common item. They're in good shape though and guys collect them. Good for gunshows...
Had this one for awhile. Even had it on my rucksack in the early 80’s during my service time in the Light Infantry. I got it in the late 70’s at a Gun show. Is it worth anything or put it in the truck like the rest.
US Medical Corps knife. 11.25" rounded blade, and Boyt scabbard. You can find them around, here's a link to IMA selling them. https://www.ima-usa.com/products/ori...19218044092485
Now, tell me about being "Light Infantry"...? See PM...
Some scalpel that, must be for big wounds.Quote:
