1943 US Army WW2 Shelter Halves x 2 ( pup tent) Canvas Only

WW2 US Army 2 x 1943 shelter halves in OD#7, dark green. guy ropes and peg loops by Kay Canvas 

This is the first model shelter half made in the dark green OD#7 colour, it has the triangle shaped ends pieces so the end of the tent is enclosed and the two shelter half pieces are joined together by metal buttons. The buttons are special buttons which are riveted on and the button head is on a raised stem so that there is enough space for the canvas to fit on.

These shelter halves the 1943 model which is for ease of identification rather than an actual date they where first issued. The earliest manufacturing date we have seen on a double ended shelter half is 1943 but that was an OD#3 colour but as the colour changed on the uniforms in 1943 to OD#7 we have decided to call these OD#7 colour replica the 1943 model.

each 1943 green shelter half features:

• 5 grommets for pegs. 3 along the base and 1 at each end of the flaps.
• 2 grommets in the top corners for the poles to go through. 
• Canvas loop on the top corners for the guy ropes  
• 5 double rows of buttons down each door to close the flaps.
• 9 double rows of buttons along the roof to join the two shelter halves together.
• 55" wide at widest point.
• 65" along the base of the square section.

The shelter halves are new replicas using quality heavy canvas, the canvas shelter halves are all the same colour green so you do not need to worry about mismatching colours.

Price is for 2 x matched US Army WW2 green shelter halves, guy ropes and peg loops.
