1918 Khaki Set!

[tri33]

Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to share with you my new Khaki Set that was just delivered to me this afternoon. It is fairly complete, with the mirror, blade case and one of the tacks still present. It was in fairly good shape when I received it, but it actually cleaned up pretty well!

Here it is:


Does anyone have a complete set that they can post a picture of?

@xillion: Beautiful sets! I saw one on ebay last week that had the original price/ instruction paper with it, but was missing the mirror and tacks if I remember correctly. Did they come with a shipper?

@almaga: Thank you sir!

Here are two small images I found of the soft case khaki set shipper and the navy set shipper.

Cool! I wasn't aware of a navy set. I'll have to add it to my list, to go with my Khaki sets. Dang it, it never ends!

Gillette also made a U.S. Service Set as well as a Canadian Service Set! Although, I'm not sure if these were actually issued to military personal or they were just for the civilian market.
