Through constant development

these really are in nice shape

however a spacer has been put into the scabbard that makes the shortened knife protrude more than usual

All three original liner retaining pins are intact with most of the original paint worn present

with a lovely stock

Original U.S. WWI Named 872nd Aero Squadron Painted Footlocker Category_MG 42 Accessories Through constant developmentOriginal Item: One Of A Kind. This is a fantastic example of a WWI era personalized, named and painted wood footlocker. The footlocker belonged to D. A. Zimmerman, a mechanic (assumed) with the 872nd Aero (repair) Squadron. We have not found any other 872nd Aero Squadron aside from the Repair Squadron. The paint is retained very well and the detail in the design is quite lovely. A perfect central focal point to build a WWI Air Service display around!
