Field Desk

[speagle]

Just spent the afternoon browsing the local antique shops. Saw this, but didn't buy it $120.00 USD.

Did buy the MP helmet liner though. Obviously seen better days, but the headbands appear to be original.

Just added a pic of the inside of the MP liner. Comments on age, etc would be appreciated.

Man, how can you be a First Sergeant without a field desk!

That would be a great addition to a war room. You think $120 was too much? Doesn't seem too bad; although I would've tried to bargain down nonetheless. Have you seen them for less?

Hi, 2 years ago at a WW2 day I could have bought 2 of them for $40 with the chair. I believe they can fetch upwards of $200 if dated during wartime and have papers etc.

Okay, $200 for a WW2 vintage desk might be reasonable. But the one in the photo looks exactly like ones I had in my units in the 80s.

I love those field desk's! Missed one a couple year ago, something in the price region like thise one.

It was a couple of war's older(lol) ment for colonial purpose.

Thing is they require much more space then a helmet...

Especialy when field bed and field bath comes with the (field!)desk too.

cheers

Thanks for all your comments folks. As with anything: space, money and MOST IMPORTANTLY-WIFE'S PERMISSION is ABSOLUTELY vital. (LOL)
