Great looking .45 cal. pistol and a holster by "Textam". The pistol has the weight, the look and operates perfectly. Clip slides out and there is also a de-milled 45 round included. If your doing a static display, or if your a reenactor, this is perfect for you. Beats having a $1500 piston in a holster on a mannequin where it won't be appreciated.
A near mint example of a 1944 dated Irving Drogue Chute (Pilot Chute) which is the small chute which is mounted on a small metal spring frame, so when the parachute is engaged, this chute pops out of the pack first, catches the air and drags the main chute out of the pack. Dated October 16, 1944 , has all the riser cords and is in near mint condition. Great looking display item.
The mustard yellow camo paint is maybe 75% intact and shows expected wear, with the more heavily worn portions exhibiting a dark patina to the shell. The Luftwaffe eagle decal is covered but discernable underneath the camo paint. All three liner pins are tight and untouched, leather is dry and darkened as can be expected. Shell is maker/size marked NS64 with lot number of D164. Chinstrap is gone to time. This is a fantastic original example of a German camo helmet as used in various hot weather theaters including Africa, Italy and the Mediterranean areas. Super piece!!
