WW2 US Tank Commander (NCO)

A full WW2 display of a US Tank Commander (NCO) not dissimilar to that portayed by Brad Pitt in the motion picture "Fury". Whilst most representations of this type are wholly reproduction, what we have here is an eclectic mix of both original and repro items as listed below. Tank crews often had to beg, borrow, and steal personal kit and clothing so there is always a widely varying look crewman to crewman, unit to unit. The rarity of availability of certain original items meant, in order to complete a look that was spot on, we went with excellently manufactured repro sourced additions. Despite this what you see is a very comprehensive, museum quality display or reenactor's representation.
