Nice color on both sides, some color fading. There are manufacture markings with a 1942 date. This is the early pattern shelter with the metal buttons.

Very hard to find a complete set like this with the correct vintage stakes, folding pole and rope. There is the name of a soldier stenciled on the shelter, see photos. This is original design, from the WWI era, utilized four Quarters to make one tent. The quarter was merely a rectangular piece of canvas with ONE triangular flap and a row of buttons and button holes along each edge (except the bottom edge). In 1942, this design was changed to add an additional triangular flap, which would make it possible to assemble a tent from two sections rather than four. The name was later changed to Shelter Half for the new design. Please see photos. Check out my other items! Please use shipping calculator for shipping cost to your area. Payment accepted via Paypal.
