Provenance can turn a mundane item into something a bit more interesting. Here’s a Case pocket knife with provenance. My grandfather who served in the Pacific during WW2 got this from an American serviceman he met, possibly a Marine or Navy man. It may have been swapped for some piece of NZ kit or another knife. My grandfather never said and I never asked. It survived the war and less well my childhood where I broke off the lift arm on the can opener tool. I presume hard brittle steel.

Hello, I’ve been posting a lot in the field gear section lately so sorry about that but it’s hard to find lots of info about this stuff online. (Got to get some more reference books!) This bread bag looks like a good one to me but I always like opinions for others.

Another quick question is about M31 bread bags with leather around the button holes at the top, I’ve seen more of them lately and can’t find many other examples to compare with. Are these original just a different model?

Thank you very much to everyone answering my questions I do appreciate it very much.

Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Bodhi

Here is the one I’m looking at.

Hello all,

While I’m stuck with my stay-at-home order I came across a group of hats for sale. Among them is this piece. Does it appear original? I apologize as these are the only photos I have at the moment. Warm wishes to all.

Good evening,
I’m new to this forum so I apologize if my knowledge is not as profound as yours.
I wanted to share the photos of this ring in my possession and have your opinion.
I would first like to know if it is a reproduction or an authentic object.

Thank you in advance.

28×18 inches- front is 4 pieces of cotton sewn together with stitching in center. Back side is one piece of white cotton with the stitching thru both pieces
