Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior." Joel 3:10

FEATURED ITEMS:

US Paratrooper Scarf, just like the WWII pattern, these are cut from a 1952 cargo chute. Scarf length is approximately 18 inches by 48 inches, no WWII US Airborne impression is complete without one. Priced to sell, these early chutes are very hard to find. I have this product for sale at the D-Day Museum Store in New Orleans, the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas, and numerous stores in Normandy, France. |

Has woven drawstring, mint, right out of the bundle, known as the Type II helmet net, documented in Steel Pots by Chris Armold, hundreds sold for $30 or more on ebay.
