You don't see these too often, and certainly not in this condition. Aside from Mr. Smith writing his name and serial number on the top, this set is in astonishing shape. As far as I know, these were the sets supplied to officers during WW I.
Man that is nice. I'm not too educated about razors, so I have to ask, is that a "bulldog" style? Aaron
Beautiful set.. that is one of the few DE sets that I want to acquire.. some of the different Khaki sets. Always sell for more then I want to pay though.
I miss DE questions all the time.. it could be talc..some of the smart people will be along soon to tell all.
Well I am not smart - but it is definately a soap stick and a brush. End of case kids. The holes are for ventilation. Imagine carting around one of those full of talc - trying opening your razor again after lugging it around a while - AcHOooOOo!!! That is a very very nice condition set ya got thar!! Yes they were issued to officers - had to tell the grunts apart from the order givers!!! Best way was the quality of their razor kit! The name is a great touch really. congrats!!! (will you sell it cheap to me?? plz? ) here is a pic of a New travel kit; .
Wow... that is really something. I even like that is has the original soldier's name and S/N on it. If it were just a normal retail razor it wouldn't have as much meaning, but as it is, it comes with a little history if you were given to digging into such things.
I would like to see what the brush and soap stick look like. Where they in the tubes still. That's an absolutely amazing kit. It would be interesting to know if the gentleman who wrote on it is still living.
Seeing as it would have been issued to someone fighting age (and an officer) in WWI, I'm going to guess not... but you never know.
