    Impossible to find here.

    How easy are they to find there?

    In our armies after the war, this is the sort of thing that soldiers were either allowed to bring home with them and keep (it saved the government having to warehouse them) or ended up in the "army-navy stores" of my childhood, with government surplus gear like this for sale by millions of units-- cheap, and durable.

    I was using WW2 tents and backpacks and folding shovels in the 1960s as a Boy Scout. German Boy Scouts were still using 1930s Zeltbahns in the 1970s-- I once had a PILE that they sold off to get fresh new camping gear. NOW... most of that field gear is used up and gone.

    Dress uniforms get saved, but useful things like knapsacks seem to be used up, worn out, and throw away. Nice to see these! :beer:
