Go, Suisse!
Let the rest of the world outfit its armies with rockets and tanks. We prefer Switzerland, with its Swiss Army Knife and, now, its Swiss Army Horseshoe Nails. Our each is a box of (100) shiny, flat, steel nails with square beveled heads, each head imprinted with a tiny cross. The #6 nails are 2-1/8" long. The #8s are 2-7/16" long. Even the box is a retro find. Such sticklers for details, these pacifistic Swiss.

Official Government Briefs
But not our government, so it's OK. These fashion-forward boxer shorts are from the UK military, in green nylon mesh with an elastic waist and marked "Size 6/40" which we're figuring for a men's large. And they're all brand spanking (you should pardon the expression) new.

Semaphores & Signals Set
Extremely cool, very interesting, and useful for sailors, budding or otherwise. This collectible boxed set includes a high-quality 60pp booklet covering the history of semaphore, signal flags, and Morse code. Comes with a 54-card deck of flag poses, another 54-card deck of signal flags, (2) cardboard Morse Code flashers, a semaphore code wheel, a Morse Code bookmark, a phonetic alphabet poster (with all 5 of the historical alphabets), a signal flag poster, and (5) reproduction postcards.

Mystery Surplus Rope
Almost certainly military, but its original purpose is lost. You get (30) feet of 3/16" dia brownish rope with (32) 3-1/4" long papoose-shaped steel wire loops affixed every 10" along (24) feet of it. Could have been to hang equipment between trees, make a bivouac shower stall, harness a huge sled-dog team, or hook-up skinny POWs for a long march. You might string camping lights or wet clothing on it, take a couple of dozen puppies for a walk, or make a really tough stringer for big fish.

White Gloves
For running white glove tests. These are closer to a cream color, and are unused UK military surplus liner gloves for N-B-C suits, but they're nicely made, and would be quite useful as emergency opera-wear if you're in white tie but left your gloves in the Bentley. The man's Small are labeled 6 to 6-1/2, and are 8-1/2" long from fingertip to end of glove. The men's Lg are labeled 8 to 8-1/2, and will be either 9-1/2" or 13" long (our choice) from fingertip to end of glove. These are also very nice painters/craft gloves for folks allergic to latex. Package of (3) pairs.

Masks, Gas, Russian
Assembled in the U.S. from Russian parts, anyway. What we have here is a full range of sizes in gas masks for children, although frankly, the smallest of them are really more Yorkshire-terrier sized. New, but surplus, and while they're rated NBC for nuclear/biological/chemical contaminants, they carry absolutely no guarantees. These are to be used as part of a collection, or for costume/novelty purposes. The children's masks come with a 12" long hose, filter tank, defogging pencil, and carrying pouch. The Small is for faces less than 4-1/4" between cheekbones (and less than 3" from the top of the nose to the chin). Medium is for 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" (3" to 3-3/8" top of the nose to the chin).

Sheds water and is big enough for a large thermos or a small pooch.

Artillery Takeout
The Australian Army's answer to "Hey, Mate, aim a little higher. Ya hit "B" Company!" This fuze indicator from a '70s artillery piece works like a circular slide rule and determines firing settings for 105 mm shells. It has a 15-3/4" dia aluminum plate sandwiched between (2) 14" dia plates covered with numbers and trajectories, all of which rotate inside a fixed arm. Eminently collectible, and reversible to display Charges 1, 2 and 3 (red and blue trim) or Charges 4 and 5 (orange and green)!

Respirator Haversacks
That's what it says inside this U.S. military surplus bag, but in non-Pentagon English it's a gas-mask pouch. It measures approx 11" tall x 8" wide x 4-1/2" deep with both snap and hook-and-loop closures, an adjustable shoulder/waist strap, a small outside pocket, and a belt loop on the back. Most are used. Most retain a bit of Eau d'Army, and could use a few hours in the fresh air. Yours will be olive drab canvas or a rubberized nylon.

Plush Pouch
Direct from the U.S. Army, this desert-tan nylon pouch was made to hold a 2-qt non-sloshing bladder canteen. So authentic that it probably will have the original stenciling and user's name on it. Has a plastic latch, belt clips, an adjustable and detachable 42" shoulder strap. The cushy fake-fur lining insulates it in the winter. Wet the lining for a cooling effect in hot weather. Measures 8-1/4" x 7" x 3" with a little 3" x 2-1/4" pocket on the front. (Water purification tablets?) Don't carry water? It'd make a nice, warm traveling gerbil habitat. (There's even a drain hole in the bottom.)
