Description

A group of five items of U.S. WWII military surplus gear. Comprising a pair of M1938 canvas leg gaiters, two khaki canvas utility pouches, and a BG-150-A antenna bag. The olive drab canvas leg gaiters feature metal eyelets, rivets, and leather straps with metal buckles. One gaiter is visibly stamped ‘MEDIUM U.S. TWEEDIE’. The two khaki canvas utility pouches have flap closures and rear webbing attachments. The large, folded olive drab mesh fabric item is identified as a BG-150-A antenna bag, likely for a BC-1000 walkie-talkie radio (SCR-300). The collection is predominantly constructed from heavy-duty canvas and mesh, consistent with U.S. military equipment from the mid-20th century period.


Condition report:

The overall condition is used, showing expected wear consistent with military surplus. Visible staining is present on the canvas items. Some corrosion is evident on the metal hardware of the gaiters and pouches.
