Please, no inquiries about these products. I just don't have the time. I will post new developments as they occur.

After WWII, the Army added a nightstick carrier and first aid pouch, but these are not included. Belt $35 (sizes 36-46).

M1910 Canteen and Cup. New reproduction of the canteens used by US Army from 1910 until the 1970's. Body is cast aluminum. Available with either early style aluminum cap or with black plastic cap adopted during WWII. Also includes aluminum M1910 canteen cup with folding handle. $ 25
Available in 2 types: Alimunium or Black Plastic Cap.
Optional:

1906 Entrenching Tool. The first pattern of the short T-handle entrenching tool, adopted around 1906, had no reinforcing metal on the back side of the handle. Very few exist because this weakness led to frequent breakage. WPG has recreated this rare shovel for the benefit of collectors interested in pre-WWI equipment. $32

M1910 Leather Dispatch Case. This heavy leather dispatch and map case by WPG is a beautiful recreation of the original item that will last through many many years of heavy campaigning. $75
Add to Cart  
 
Mills M1910 Canvas Dispatch Case. The Mills Equipment Company made a canvas and web version of the M1910 Dispatch Case. It was lighter and easier to use than the leather version, and seems to have been popular as a private purchase item. During WWI it may have been purchase by the Army as a substitute item, and was definitely issued after WWI, but with Lift-The-Dot fasteners replacing the Eagle Snaps. This reproduction copies all the details of the original.$35
Add to Cart  

M1912 Picket Pin. This picket pin was the most successful of the 1912 experimental equipment for cavalry, as it was used until the end of the horse cavalry in 1943. WPG's reproduction is machined from solid steel to last several lifetimes. $45
Add to Cart  

M1904 Pistol Ammo Pouch. This is a new recreation of the russet leather ammo box for revolver ammo adopted around 1904. It is identical to the pattern used through the 1890's; only the color was changed. With the re-introduction of .45 caliber revolvers, the wooden block in the pouch was removed to accomodate the larger ammunition. This pouch has 1 3/4 inch belt loops to fit on the M1904 garrison belt. $25 Add to Cart  

M1904 Sword Knot With the switch to russet colored leather, the Army needed all new leather equipment. This sword knot was adopted around 1904, and is much more intricate than previous models. It was used on the M1860 and M1906 Cavalry Sabers until replaced by the M1913 Patton Sword. $25 Add to Cart  
Patton Leather Holsters and Belt Set. This is a stunning recreation of the famous set worn by General George S. Patton, Jr. throughout WWII. Set consists of both left and right holsters, leather belt with US garrison belt buckle, compass pouch and ammo holder. These holsters are designed to fit his Colt .45 Single Action Army and Model 27 Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver. The dummy firearms illustrated ARE NOT included. The belt is adjustable out to 44 inches. This set is made in natural undyed leather. Have your orderly apply a few coats of brown shoe polish well rubbed in and it will take on a beautiful russet color and a high gloss.  $185

US WWII Khaki Watch Band (Org). Original WWII production khaki cotton watch band for all military watches. Unissued condition. $20  Add to Cart  
US Army M1904 Leather Garrison and Saber Belt. This is a new reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the leather garrison belt adopted by the US Army around 1904, during the conversion from black to suset leather. The garrison belt was worn with very few changes until 1942. This belt could be worn with a variety of accessories for either mounted or dismounted duties. I am offering this reproduction just as they were originally issued, in vegetable tanned un-dyed russet leather. The leather will darken over time with exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish.

The buckle is blackened brass as originally specified, although most originals buckles were eventually polished. Belts come in a maximum length to last adjustment hole of 38, 42 or 48 inches. Please specify your preference. Belts copy original markings, but with inspector initials of WPG. As always, I guarantee satisfaction. And, for the dolt who always has to ask, the belt is made of leather. $32.00

US Army M1904 Leather and Brass Saber Hanger. This is a new reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the saber hanger adopted by the US Army around 1904, during the conversion from black to suset leather. This is the enlisted version of the saber hanger, which does not have hooks to attach to the saber. It could be worn on a variety of Mills web cartridge belts fitted with a saber chape, or it could be worn on the M1904 leather garrison belt with the brass adapter slide The garrison belt adapter slide is included with this saber hanger. The garrison belt shown in the photo is for illustration only and is NOT included in this offering.

I am offering this reproduction just as they were originally issued, in vegetable tanned undyed russet leather. The leather will darken over time with exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish. The metal is blackened brass as originally specified, although most originals were eventually polished. Hangers copy original markings, but with inspector initials of WPG. $35.00

US Army M1904 Holster for .38 Revolvers. This is a new reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the leather M1904 holster that was used with all .38 caliber revolvers issued between 1892 and 1909. It copies all details accurately right down to the keyhole shaped opening on the closure flap. The only shortcoming is that the leather tiedown thong is cowhide leather not elk hide as specified in regulations. I am offering this reproduction just as they were originally issued, in vegetable tanned undyed russet leather. The leather will darken over time with exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish. 

This holster copies original markings, but with inspector initials WPG. As always, I guarantee satisfaction. And, for the dolt who always has to ask, leather items are made of leather. $48.00 Add to Cart  
M1912 Cavalry Intrenching Tool Carrier. This is a new reproduction of an unissued condition "Intrenching Tool Carrier" for the M1912 Shovel, Axe, or Pick head. It is made in natural leather just like an original unissued one, and will darken in time with exposure to air, light and oils. This is the case only and does not include any intrenching tool. Also not included is the nail pouch. This carrier is a very tight fit when new and initially will take some effort to get closed with the tool head inside. I recommend using the picket pin handle to help force the head into the very bottom of the carrier. $75.00
Add to Cart  
Army M1912 Leather Belt Frog for Holster. This is a new reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the leather belt frog adopted in 1912 for use with the M1911 pistol holster. This frog would normally be worn on the M1912 garrison belt, along with the M1912 pistol holster and magazine pouch. Enlisted men were also issued a leather clip pouch for M1903 Springfield ammo. All these accessories are available from WPG.

I am offering this reproduction just as they were originally issued, in vegetable tanned undyed russet leather. The leather will darken over time with exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish. There are no markings on this frog. $9.00

M1904 Belt Adapter for Springfield or Krag Bayonet.  This is a new reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the leather belt adapter for wearing the M1905 Springfield or Krag bayonet scabbards on the M1904 garrison belt. The second photo shows how this adapter was used. The offering is for the adapter only, and NOT for the other items shown in the second photo. For duties not in the field, soldiers normally wore the leather garrison belt instead of the Mills web cartridge belt when under arms. It was normally worn by dismounted soldiers with the M1905 bayonet and scabbard, and the M1904 McKeever cartridge pouch. Check my other ebay offerings.

I am offering this reproduction just as they were originally issued, in vegetable tanned undyed russet leather. The leather will darken over time with exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish. This adapter copies original markings, but with inspector initials WPG. $9.00

M1926 Lifebelt . The US Navy M1926 lifebelt was standard issue for all assault troops, both Army and Marine, in most of the amphibious landings of WWII. This WPG reproduction copies all the details, right down to the markings. The internal triggers are missing, so it cannot be inflated with CO2 cartridges, but you can blow it up through the inflation tubes. These belts adjust out to 50 inches without undoing the expansion folds. $98 Add to Cart

US M1904 Marching Shoe. New reproduction of this very rare field boot issued from 1904 to 1917. Though replaced by the M1917 Shoe, many doughboys were still wearing these in France in 1917. This run of repros has some minor cosmetic flaws: 1) the cloth pull-on loop at the back of the shoe is missing, and 2) there is a WWII QM contract stamp on the inside. These flaws don't show when worn, but WPG is blowing them out a reduced price. Sizes 9- 13  $98
