The seller has a variety of war and war props for sale. He notes MB and GPW parts are for sale as well. The vehicle below appears to be a GPW. I talked with my friend Van recently and Van mentioned that he assembled some prop jeeps for use as film props and sometimes used a variety of vehicle parts. So, you might want to check this jeep out closely (it might or might not have been assembled by Van).
“For Sale: I am thinning my large collection of WWII and Korean War era collectables.
I have been collecting World War 2 period uniforms, gear and equipment for the past 35 years. I have focused my colleting primarily on the items used by the good guys (the Allies, Army, Air force, Marines, Navy), but I do have a good smattering of German and Japanese items as well.
I have flight helmets (WW2 and postwar), flight jackets, goggles, oxygen masks, foot wear, shirts trousers, khakis, Officers and enlisted class A’s, helmets, radios, coats, MB GPW jeep parts, ammo pouches, raincoats, field gear, crates, ammo boxes, bayonets, holsters, Leather Garand Scabbards, pistol belts, garand / carbine parts and accessories and lots, lots more.
I also manufacture and can supply military canvas items for vehicle restorations and period field gear.
I produced the majority of field gear used in the productions of “Band of Brothers”, “Windtalkers” and I was the Senior Military Technical Advisor for the great, locally produced film “Saints and Soldiers”. In fact, most of the collectables I will be selling were used as wardrobe and props in that production.
I am reasonable on prices, the more you buy, the better deal I will make you.
Please call or e-mail and let me know what you like and what your looking for. I will let you know if I have it.
801-494-9852 Cell- please note, my number was incorrectly listed previosly. This is my correct number.
Peace, Ray”
