Trousers and puttees

Name on tunic and collar blind. The tunic came with two different kinds of collar blinds.

At the request of some members I am posting this grouping. It is all named to a field surgeon in WWI. His name is Edward Cline Bull. From the research I did on him it looks like he became a prominent surgeon after the war. I know he wrote some medical journals on re-constructive surgery.

If someone can direct me to the right section I would be more than glad to.

Thanks Paul!

Chris I am trying to post it now. What are the size limits for photos?

Yes I do have a PH grouping for a wounded. I have all his medals and discharge papers. He was a 2nd armored vet who was wounded in the bulge.

Just let me know what you want to see. My focus was Army. I kept one example of every piece of issue clothing, equipment and medals (except the MOH of course) that were issued during WWII to the Army. The only exception was I sold all my airborne stuff. The crazy money it was getting was too much to resist. In fact one d-bail para lid bought my first three TR visors. I also still have a nice complete uniform grouping from a field surgeon from WWI.

Hi Chris, I kept a good chunk of my US stuff but some did get sold for TR.

Gentleman, thank you for the kind welcome.

Pressed paper would almost make sense. The materials on civil visors were ?most? of the time slightly lesser than on military. Look at sweatbands for example. You mostly see Alkor, pressed paper and Ersatz instead of leather. Plus Erel, Schellenberg. Kaps and a few other makers did use pressed paper visors toward the wars end. Maybe this is an early attempt at testing it out.

Mike I am stumped. The visors is right as rain so I have no doubts that that is the original visor on there. Hard to tell the material from the pics but I would say pressed paper. The late war TR visors with pressed paper looked much different but maybe this was Lubstein?s civil version of a crusher ?type? visor. It does look a lot like the pressed paper material used on Soviet visors. You said it was very flexible?

Hi Mike, sounds good.

Hello all, I just wanted to say hi. Some of you might know me from other forums. My name is Nick and I have been collecting TR for the last 17yrs or so. Prior to that I was collecting US since about 1976. My main focus in collecting is TR visors (any visor I love them all). I also collect Heer officers uniforms with a few SA and political mixed in. Looking forward to getting in to some discussions here. Looks to be a real good forum. I know I recognize more than a few names here.
