NOTE:: The above contents are from the Armed Services Catalog dated July 1949, courtesy of Daan Meyer, via Alain Batens – only some of the items have been traced to their WW2 origin, I have however no identification for the majority of items contained in this Kit, and since I do not possess a 1944 itemized list – the above listing may not be complete or entirely correct – therefore, any additional information is most welcome – thanks for your help
