Belt, Trousers, US Army, M-1937
Reproduction of the WWII US Army M-1937 troop canvas belt, light khaki color, delivered with removable buckle, troop model for combat or dress trousers. Adjustable up to 50 Inches (127 cm)
Opener, Can, P38, US Army
P38 can opener. Introduced in 1942, it was carried by thousands of GIs throughout the Second World War. This tiny, lightweight, P-38 collapsible can opener was developed during World War II, reported to have been a rapid 30 days design project in the summer of 1942 by the U.S. Army Subsistence Research Laboratory in Chicago, IL. The origin of the name is not clear, like the jeep. Some claim it required exactly 38 punctures around a can to open it. Others say it performed with the speed of a P-38 fighter plane. Whatever the case, it is clear this little device has to be considered one of the most perfect inventions ever designed for use in combat.
