This is a set of items that had were acquired in an estate liquidation of a former career military man. He had served and risen in the ranks from WWII to Korea to Vietnam as a member of the U.S. Army Airborne.  The items in this set were either his own or collected from others during his time served.

The items in this set all relate to the Airborne. Most are WWII but there are some Korean War and Vietnam War era.

This set includes:

Rip Cord Pull (Red) – WWII

Rip Cord Pull (Chrome) – Vietnam

Parachute Strap – WWII

Gear/Rigging Straps – WWII possible Korea

2 Pairs of Jump Gloves – WWII

Knee Cover – WWII

Chin Strap – Vietnam

Slide Rule and Time Distance Computer Type D-4  – WWII

Pilot Parachute Green (unmarked) – Vietnam

Pilot Parachute White dated DEC 1966 marked Pilot Chute Personnel made by M Steinthal & Co – Vietnam

Patches:

Tech Sergeant – WWII

101st Airborne Screaming Eagle & Tab – WWII

82nd Airborne All American & Tab – WWII

Allied Airborne – WWII

U.S. Army GHQ (red white blue circle.  blue should be on top not on side as in photo) – WWII

U.S. Army Honorable Discharge Patch “Ruptured Duck” Diamond with Eagle – WWII

All the items in this set are in good to very good condition.  There is minor wear, some soiling and staining on the fabrics.  The pilot parachutes have no rips or tears.  The White Pilot is spring activated which functions as it should.

This set would be an excellent addition for the U.S. Army Airborne Paratrooper collector.
