Just going over the big things:

2 front seam swivel bale helmets

1 Korean War liner with 4ID decal.

1 Strange liner, looks like made out of cardboard and covered in cloth. Very lightweight, not in the best of shape.

I named officers bag.

1 nice brown WWI dated .45 holster

2 sets leather riding gaiters

1 big Navy marked lantern

SPAM war canteen, but is marked to 1st Div?

Hal how about pictures. You liner that you say is made of carboard is probably a Hawley which is in demand for collectors.

Site listed a hawley as $470 does that sound right? I would guess they are pretty rare now.
