Offered here is a genuine U.S. Army WWII-era M1 Garand rifle sling from the respected Canfield Collection. This is the classic OD (olive drab) green canvas sling fitted with the sought-after “flat buckle” hardware, a correct wartime pattern used extensively by American troops during the Second World War. These flat buckle slings were a standard issue for M1 Garand rifles starting in the early 1940s and are characterized by their stamped, parkerized steel hardware featuring flat, rectangular adjustment clamps and simple keepers. The example here remains in solid, serviceable condition with minor age-related wear and surface oxidation on the hardware, consistent with field use and storage. The canvas retains its olive drab color with just the right patina, a testament to its authenticity and period use. Original M1 Garand slings are increasingly hard to find in complete and untouched condition, and this one is a fine representative of its type. Whether you're restoring a wartime M1 Garand or enhancing a U.S. military display, this original WWII sling will add historical accuracy and collector value.

Bold, patriotic, and unmistakably evocative of the era, this poster features a dramatic B-17 Flying Fortress soaring overhead with the rallying cry "Keep 'Em Flying" emblazoned across the sky.

With its vivid imagery and powerful message, this original example captures the spirit and urgency of the 1940s like few other artifacts can.

Printed during the war years, this authentic poster would have been displayed in factories, recruitment centers, or public buildings to inspire enlistment, encourage production, and keep the American spirit soaring as high as the B-17s themselves.

Not only is this footlocker a functional storage piece, but it's also a conversation starter packed with historical resonance.

The Japanese seizure of Burma in 1941 cut the Burma Road, the vital supply lifeline between Burma and China. The US Army Air Forces mounted a massive aerial resupply effort based in Northern India to keep Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist forces in the fight. AAF cargo pilots flew tons of supplies "over the Hump" into China, braving treacherous weather, towering Himalayan peaks, and marauding Japanese fighters. Many AAF personnel in the CBI acquired souvenirs from local craftsmen to send or bring back to their loved ones on the homefront. Among the more exciting gifts a father would have sent to his boy back home was a pair of CBI incised patch badged leather flight boots. This pair of US Army AAF WW2 CBI Souvenir Father Bringback Boy’s Leather Flight Boots are in Fair Condition, with heavy rough tearing to the linings, moderate scuffing and flaking to the toes, moderate indenting to the insteps, moderate drying, crazing, and surface cracking to the lowers, moderate wrinkling and darkening to the uppers, the patches at the upper front shafts appearing to have come unstitched long ago, and been reattached with adhesive long ago as well, some loosening to the adhesion around the edges of the right boot patch, and with moderate to heavy overall wear evident. Most interestingly, they measure 7” tall and 7 1/2” in length from heel to toe, sport finished brown leather lowers and “roughout” brown leather uppers, and bear the classic China, Burma, India sun, star, and striped shield theater made incised leather patches at the upper front shafts. These boots are surprisingly well constructed, with leather strap and metal buckles across the insteps, stitched leather soles, pinned leather heels, and metal heel taps, and are an honest example of very rare, original US Army AAF WW2 CBI Souvenir Father Bringback Boy’s Leather Flight Boots.

Size 40, Good Condition, moderate scattered drying, wrinkling, and surface cracking throughout. Spectacular theater made painted leather 54th Troop Carrier Squadron patch at the left chest, under a matching theater made sewn leather name tab reading "James B. Senter", along with Kanji characters, likely his name transliterated. Original AAF "TYPE A-2" woven nomenclature/maker's label of Poughkeepsie Coat Co. at the inside neck. Classic horsehide leather shell, spun brown cotton lining, snap down collar, box and X stitched leather shoulder straps, hook and eye neck closure, original and fully functional front zipper, Acme Thunderer ditch whistle, and original knit wool cuffs and waistband.

Size 42, Very Good Condition, some grayish soiling at the lower right front pocket, and some overall age wear. Spectacular chenille embroidered and Disney designed 5th Tow Target Squadron patch at the left chest, under the sewn leather name strip of "J.M. AUSTIN". Original AAF "TYPE A-2" woven nomenclature/maker's label of I. Spiewak & Sons at the inside neck, one of the scarcer makers of the A-2 to encounter today, whose jackets were notably crafted of goatskin rather than the traditional horsehide. Classic spun brown cotton lining, snap down collar, box and X stitched leather shoulder straps, hook and eye neck closure, original and fully functional front zipper, and original knit wool cuffs and waistband.

Our Assessment: The Colt Commando was produced during World War II as a wartime alternative to the commercial Colt Official Police. These revolvers were intended for military and law enforcement use, featuring a parkerized finish and plastic grips for durability. Many were issued to guards, military police, and defense workers during the war, making them a significant part of American wartime history.

With its 4-inch barrel and chambering in .38 Special, the Commando was well-suited for security and law enforcement roles, offering reliability and ease of use. The parkerized finish helped protect against corrosion, making it ideal for military and government service in various conditions.

This example remains in outstanding condition, retaining about 90% of its original finish, though the grips, while excellent, do not appear to be original to the firearm. Its strong bore and smooth action make it an excellent choice for collectors of military and police revolvers or anyone interested in WWII-era firearms.

Military web belt

Leather holster

Ammo pouch with 50-round box of .38 Special ammunition (Ships Seperatly)

Billy club and billy club holster

SP (Shore Patrol) armband

Red Medical kit & first aid pouch

Our Assessment:The Colt Commando was a wartime adaptation of the Colt Official Police revolver, produced specifically for military and law enforcement use during World War II. With its Parkerized finish, lack of a polished hammer and trigger, and simplified grips, the Commando was built for durability and function over aesthetics. These revolvers were issued to military police, defense plant guards, and Shore Patrol units, making them a significant piece of U.S. wartime history.

This particular revolver, serial number 34347, is marked with the "G.H.D." inspector’s initials and the U.S. Ordnance flaming bomb acceptance mark, confirming its military contract origins. It retains about 85% of its original Parkerized finish, with only light handling wear, and remains mechanically sound.

What makes this package truly special is the inclusion of a full WWII Shore Patrol rig. The belt, leather holster, ammo pouch, billy club with holster, SP armband, medical kit, and first aid pouch provide an authentic representation of a U.S. Navy Shore Patrolman’s gear during WWII.

For collectors of WWII firearms and militaria, this is an exceptional find. Not only is the Colt Commando an important piece of wartime history, but the complete Shore Patrol setup adds immense historical value. Whether displayed as a museum-quality set or added to a personal collection, this is a rare opportunity to own a well-preserved example of America’s WWII homefront security and law enforcement history.

Stock Configuration and Condition: The grips are two-piece checkered "Coltwood" plastic with molded Colt medallions and smooth borders. The grips have only a few scattered minor marks. There are no chips or cracks. The checkering is well-defined. Overall, the grips are in Fine condition.

Type of Finish: Parkerized

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this revolver. As with all used firearms, thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.

Box, Paperwork, and Accessories: This Commando Revolver comes with a Colt Archives letter.

Our Assessment: As the United States entered World War II, demand for all things military strained even the massive industrial capacity of America. Frontline arms were prioritized for frontline units, but there was also a need to arm law enforcement, guards at factories, and other sites with strategic importance, such the Maritime Commission and various other non-combat roles which still required arms. To help fill this demand, Colt produced a variation of their Official Police revolver with specifications set by the US Government. The result was the Commando revolver, of which 50,617 were produced from 1942-1945.

This example was shipped to the U.S. Army Consolidating Station in New York, bound for the Oakland Branch of the San Francisco Port of Embarkation in 1943. Unlike the majority, this Commando features a factory 2" barrel, sometimes called a "Junior Commando". These short barreled variants were produced in fewer numbers, and were found useful for roles where a smaller revolver was desirable such as air crews, OSS operatives or plainclothes military police. This revolver will certainly make a fine addition to any Colt or WWII small arms collection. Good luck and happy bidding!

Our Assessment: As the United States entered World War II, demand for all things military strained even the massive industrial capacity of America. Front-line arms were prioritized for front-line units, but there was also a need to arm law enforcement, guards at factories and other sites with strategic importance, the Maritime Commission and various other non-combat roles which still required arms. To help fill this demand, Colt produced a variation of their Official Police revolver with specifications determined by the US Government. The result was the Commando revolver, roughly equivalent to Smith & Wesson’s Victory model, with 50,617 produced from 1942-1945. This example is quite interesting, not only because it has been so well preserved but also because it is one of 300 procured by the Massachusetts National Guard. According to Charles Pate’s book “U.S. Handguns of World War II The Secondary Pistols and Revolvers”, the 300 revolvers were sent in two shipments, February and March, 1944. According to Pate, “These revolvers were apparently used very little, if at all, before being dipped in Cosmoline, wrapped in heavy paper and placed back into their craft boxes for long-term storage”. This revolver fits that description to a T, with some of its cosmoline and wrapped in heavy paper. It should make a great addition to a Colt or WWII small arms collection, especially if you’re from the Bay State. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Our Assessment: The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. The design was the end-result of a series of developments by famous gun designer John Browning, starting with the Model 1900. The advances made by Browning were revolutionary at the time, and were so successful that they are considered commonplace today. Browning not only developed first a pivoting and then a tilting barrel to allow for a locked system, he developed the concept of ""the slide"", which is now synonymous with semi-automatic handguns.

This is a Colt Model 1911 that was made during WWI in 1917. The pistol has a brushed blue finish that was instigated in 1917 because the Army thought the bright blued finish was not durable enough. The pistol is in Very Good condition with 90% of its original finish remaining. The bore is strong with sharp rifling and the mechanics are still strong. This is a pistol which has light, honest wear, really quite nice for an issued sidearm in one of the most destructive conflicts in history, and will make a nice addition to a WWI small arms or 1911 specific collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. As was the case at the outset of the 1st World War, demands of the US Military would outstrip the production capacity of Colt when the United States entered World War II. In this case, contracting pistol production out to other companies had been planned for and simplified due to educational orders and a production study, notably conducted by the Singer sewing machine company, which developed comprehensive plans and instructions for a company which had never made a 1911A1 to order materials, machinery and set up manufacturing for the pistol.

Remington Rand was the star example of this project's success, and by the end of the war would go on to produce just about as many as all of the other maker's combined, at the lowest price and highest quality. This example was made by Remington Rand in 1944 and is a great example of a Remington Rand 1911-A1. The pistol is in Very Good-Fine condition, retaining about 95% of its parkerized finish. The pistol retains strong mechanics and a nice bore. This would make a great addition for a collector who wants to add a Remington Rand to a 1911 or WWII small arms collection.

Our Assessment: The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. As in the Great War, production demands of WWII required many manufacturers to produce military equipment for the war effort. While much of the small arms production was performed by arms manufacturers, there were also contracts that went out to other firms.

As the name suggests, Union Switch & Signal Co. produced switches and signaling equipment for railroads. They received a contract to produce 200,000 1911-A1 pistols, though the contract would be shortened with only 55,000 delivered to the government. This makes the US&S 1911-A1s the second rarest of all the manufacturers, behind only Singer who developed the educational material to allow non-firearms manufacturers to swiftly tool up to produce 1911 pistols. It is believed that when the drawings were originally delivered to US&S, the """"P"""" proof mark on the slide was not included, leading to the early production US&S pistols, such as this one, not having the mark at all. When this was discovered, Ordnance requested that the marking be added to the pistol, but it appears that the location was not clear, with interim production guns having the marking notably left of center. The later production pistols had the marking in the same location as other makers.

This example is a great find for collectors with its original DuLite finish. The pistol retains about 96% of its original finish with strong mechanics. This pistol should garner a lot of interest from the collectors of WWII pistols, and 1911s in particular. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: On July 20, 2012, about 101 years after the 1911 was first adopted by the U.S. Armed Forces, the M45A1 was adopted by the Marine Corps for use by several of their Special Operations Capable units as well as their pistol shooting team. Dubbed the Close Quarters Battle Pistol or CQBP, the pistol has several upgrades over the original Model of 1911, including front and rear slide serrations, night sights, accessory rail, extended beavertail grip safety, skeletonized hammer, ambidextrous thumb safety, National Match barrel and Cerakoted stainless steel slide and frame.

This pistol is a commercially sold example, serialized in the same range as the USMC used pistols. As one of the earliest commercial M45A1s, the pistol was hand-fit by the gunsmiths of the Colt Custom Shop and shipped in a Colt-branded Pelican case with a Colt-branded Otis cleaning kit and two Wilson Combat magazines. The pistol is in excellent condition, and it appears to have spent more time in the Pelican case than out. This pistol is a must-have for any U.S. Military pistol collection or 1911 collection.
