Bullfrog Valley Militaria

These items came to me as you see them. I don't see any markings on the belt or buckle, the bayonet and scabbard are matching with "F.W. Holler" and "5959 b". The blade is mint and still has the bluing, the grip is a dark brown or black Bakelite and the lock for the rifle still works. The leather while just a little stiff, thick leather, it is still supple enough that it will not crack or break when bent. This is a great looking Luftwaffe rig that has been together for all these years.

Nice example of a Prussian Officer's M-1889 Sword in very nice condition. The scabbard is clean with no rust, the blade is not marked, but in very clean condition. The handle still has the metal wrapping with the metal insignia and overall is a great looking sword.

A neat little grouping of personal items to Maj. Gen Van R. Shores who graduated from West Point in 1936, was then assigned to the 29th Pursuit Squadron in the Panama Canal Zone, later flew 29 combat missions in Spitfires while with the 12th AAF and went on to a prominent career in the USAF holding many command offices. A short history comes with this grouping. Included in the grouping are some of his Maj. Gen. insignia, leather flight jacket name tags, patch and card to "Sigma Nu Fraternity", a golf ball with his name from McChord AFB 1962, a Sixth AF napkin ring with his name, when he was just a Colonel and some other personal items. Neat little grouping.

First one of these I've ever seen and in excellent condition. It measures approx. 80 " by 76", and is marked to the "4th Ferrying Group, Memphis" in one corner. Would make a great addition to any ATC collection. Just a couple storage marks that do nothing to the overall look.

Neat pillow sham from "Keesler Field in Biloxi, Miss. which was established in 1941 and trained aviation mechanics plus Army recruits. Neat to see the "Remember Pearl Harbor" slogan on this item. It measures approx. 20" by 20" and is in excellent condition.

In near excellent condition and measuring approx. 2 1/2" by 4". Great looking patch.

A beautiful patch, felt sewn on wool. measures approx. 2 7/7' by 3 3/8" and in excellent condition.

With dome of the wool missing, but the YD are in great shape. Felt sewn onto wool, approx. 2 1/4" by 2 1/2".

Great looking Army Marksman Badge marked "Sterling" and pinback.

An excellent example of a metal cased TL-122-A flashlight by "National Carbon Company" (Eveready) of Cleveland, Ohio and in working condition.

A near mint example of a TL-122-B made by "Bright Star" and using a Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB) housing. The proprietary name is "Tenite". It is in working condition. Would be hard to upgrade.

Nice example of an M-1942 Garand Bayonet made by "PAL", uncut and unsharpened. The blade length is 9 7/8", overall 14 1/2", overall with scabbard 16". Near excellent overall condition.

A great looking set of 1942 dated shovel and carrier in excellent condition. The shover is dated 1942 by "Ames", while the carrier is dated 1942 by "Berkeley Bags, Inc.". A beautiful set.
