Unboxing a Huge Mystery Box of WWII Gear! 

Nice haul. Something to keep in mind with m1 helmet shells though, is that the seam doesn’t always dictate the era, m1 helmets started being produced with a rear seam around 1944, so there were ww2 helmets with a rear seam. Another way to tell is if it had a stainless steel rim, it’s most likely ww2, however there was 1 or 2 helmet makers in Vietnam that bought surplus rims from ww2 and put on the helmets they made.

The way he goes for that box to grab the next item tells you he’s excited

We all know that his favorite thing he got was the book😂

"They're also good for making you look like a badass, so catch my out in the town with these tomorrow night" My favorite WWW quote

When I saw that book, I just laughed. Very unexpected.

I'm a historian and a reenactor I love your videos and you are my favorite RU-vidr

The 10 pocket cartridge belt is for the 1903 Springfield. The extra "strap" on the inside of the pockets is to keep the 5 round stripper clips separated.

Fun fact: some WW2 US helmets had the seem in the back. Only late war 1944. So check the heat stamp to see if it’s post war or not

Is Speaking of Sex historically accurate? 😂

Awesome package. One thing to keep in mind on post war M1 shells, Vietnam era M1s have a different profile and won't fit a WWII or Korean era liner properly. Korean shells are essentially the same as WWII in appearance minus all the differences you're already aware of, of course. Just speaking on overall shape

Nice haul. OD7 rifle belts were manufactured from 1943 onwards, I have several in my collection. Collectors dismiss OD7 field gear as late war, and it wasn't used so on and so on. It was used and was manufactured 43> same as transitional gear, OD3 pouches with OD7 trim, rifle belts made from multiple shades of OD, it was all issued and used. Not all WW2 gear is OD3. Rear seam helmets were introduced alongside front seam helmets 44> as front seam lids dried up, rear seam took over. There's evidence of rear seams being found in Normandy with several books showing pictures. Keep these videos coming, they are good. 👍🏻

Thats awesome!

Lmao that face at 5:15

Hopefully one day someone will do the same with the Afghanistan war. My wife made a shadow box with my uniform and for the medals i received for our son. Hes 6 right now and already asking questions, cant wait till he gets to the good ones lol.

I'm going to need to politely ask for another video like this please

I wish Korea era helmets were more common. But most of them are in europe or were sold to other countries!

3:03 😂😂😂😂

Interesting vid, everyone loves mystery packages don't we? I laughed when you said ' if anyone has anything they want to send me...' hey I don't blame you, if folks want to give stuff away to me I'm all for it!

Love the Medal of Honor airborne death pose in the intro haha. Love that game

Your ww2 gear will make a fine addition to my collection. Star wars joke BTW

Wow nice package and good jov Tyler

Nice work!!

I love war history

Cool stuff thx

i was given by my great grandpa an original issue brodie helmet with medic markings it has also been been pained at least three times showing some history looking up Brodie helmets there usually a green but this was painted white as well medic marking are usually painted in the front and front only but threw the second layer of paint i can see they where painted on all sides then sometime before my grandpa got it someone painted white but bad as you can still see the user added medical cross and they removed the rest of the crosses as best they could and only painted back the front one. there is also some weird cloth back neck cover thing really neat history i can see in it sad it was painted over

You should see if you can get a set of British-made webbing - M1928, 36, etc. A lot of US troops had them on D-Day.

What’s the best war documentary boxset to have as a reference guide to movies and tv series

Hi I have a question a have a m1 helmet not sure if it is ww2 it has a heat stamp s inside of it and a couple numbers and a back seam is it ww2?

in the intro with the plane flying over, what video is that? would love to watch it

Nice

The M1928 DIY backpack kit...

I’m here from TIKTOK

Are you the guy who has the m9a1 military gas mask? I have that same exact one

Unmodified 1944 packs are fairly uncommon. There's 1944 and 45 system, which changes including how the lower pack attached. Most 1944 packs seem to have been modified to accept 1945 lower packs. I presume few 1944 lower packs for made. I had two WW2 lowers and both a 1945 and modified 1944 upper.

Your videos deserve more likes you got mine 👍

Ok young man. Question why did you pick the ETO instead of the South Pacific

are you selling the transitional m45 pack?

two shoulder straps.......... not a haversack..

Hi I’m from Tik tok, what’s the best UK website for WW2 reenactment gear?

Front Seem and rear seem meens nothing

When I was in high school.. In history class believe it or not I had college history classes instead of regular history because I read a lot about war since i was five.. When the subject of war and ww2 came .,I knew a lot especially battle field conditions and had Nazi war booty . I would to in class that the book was wrong the teacher wouldn’t disagree with me. But my class mates how would you know this what makes you a expert .. I stood up and said Because my father is ww2 combat veterans of ETO And fought under Patton. Your lying maybe your grandfather but not your dad .. I said no my father no my father. There parents were my brother and sisters age . Of course i proved it them and shocked and I brought ww2 memorabilia and photos of the war and Nazi Swatztiker. They couldn’t believe it . I was and still am incredibly proud that he was my father.. Then I told them that my grandfather fought in WW1.. And was had mustard gas poisoning and died in the mid 1930s very young.. NOW ALL MY FAMILY ARE TEX/MEX all born in Texas my family came to Texas when Geronimo was captured and taken to fort Sam Houston.. dropped off at Apache park. We have put with all racial comments from flirty hethen Indian to dirty wetbacks and my family still volunteered to die for this great nation called America 🇺🇸 That’s a true story
