UPDATED JULY 5, 2008 88th Division Lighter/Ashtray set, with chipped DI and enamel 88th Div crests, name plate gone, and looks to have had another item on the lighter itself. Nice, unusual item from the Blue Devil Division. $25 PHOTO PHOTO SUPERB silver/silver plated Italian Style ASHTRAY with handle named to "Raleigh R. Albrecht, Captain Infantry, 0-1309488, Pacific Stars and Stripes" with logo, and an American Eagle. This is a super presentation piece to an army journalist officer, and items like this are seldom seen. The plate is welded to the cover, has Asian hallmarks and is silver, the rest is plated. SUPER presentation piece (can you tell it impresses me?) Comes with great Chinese and Manchuoko insignia and medal contents that must have been souvenir. The medals have value on their own, and the Chinese hat star is also a super item! $200 PIC PIC PIC Nice complete WWI gasmask, its brittle but its there, unit ID to the 90th division, I think, and named etc. Nice period ID. Dusty. $100 PHOTO WWI BRITISH/CANADIAN P08 belt, with back straps intact, not removed as is frequently seen. Faint markings in this, a solid and rare belt. Its the only real webbing belt seen on the combat tunics for officer AND EM in WWI. A 'necessary accessory'! $125 PHOTO Very Early belt and buckle, leather is thin and wrapped over linen or burlap lining, has a logo of a mound with a man beside it, and marked SJC. Not sure what this is. One small hole to front face of leather, but overall its unusually well preserved and could use some polish. $150 PHOTO WWI "Stick the Kaiser" pillow cover, hand painted, lace edge shows a doughboy chasing the Kaiser with a bayonet, nicely hand done and showing only minor age and wear. Not a sham, but a full pillow cover. About 20 inch square canvas area. Nice. SALE $75 PHOTO PHOTO WWII Lucite encased combat medic badge, on lucite stand, nice and a strange WWII item. Has had pin ground off back. $15 PHOTO
