Offered here are three nice pieces that came in together and are associated to a World War 2 airman.

First and foremost is a nice Model 1911 A1, .45 caliber automatic pistol. Serial number 2139818. Retains its dull, parkerized finish overall with visible heat tempering line. Showing light wear to edges. Stamped “REMINGTON RAND INC, / SYRACUSE, N.Y. U.S.A.” and “UNITED STATES PROPERTY / 2139818 / MI911 A1 U.S. ARMY”. Fully functional with magazine. Lanyard ring at bottom of grip. Very good condition. FFL paperwork and background check required.

To go with the above pistol is an M3 Russett leather shoulder holster emblazoned with the embossed oval and “US” on the front. Leather shows wear from use but remains strong and supple with all straps. The only real issue is that the brass snap on the lower belt loop has come apart. Holster features several markings. On the back side is the maker’s stamp: “U.S. / BOYT”. The front side has “Kenny” marked on the tab that secures the weapon, “NAVIGATOR” stamped along the rear seam, and a monogram that appears to be “JKP” on the “pocket”. Good condition overall.

The last part of this group is an Extra-Large size AN-H-15 flight helmet. Introduced in April 1943, it is made of tan khaki cotton twill with black rubber ear pieces, which still has the ANB-H-1 receivers in place. These retain wires and plug, and were made by Shure Brothers in Chicago. The inner headphone cups show light use but remain soft. The chin strap is complete and features the laundry number “P7392”. The “Army Air Forces” (with AAF “meatball” stamp) is on the side. The Bradley-Goodrich manufacturer's label is still found inside. This piece remains in very fine condition.

This fine group needs further research to determine who the navigator “Kenny P” actually was. The source of this group suggested he may have been in the 20th Air Force.

Federal Firearms paperwork and background checks are required for this purchase. [jet] [ph:L]
