This is something you don’t see every day. Ft Knox has put out a solicitation for WWII USGI militaria for use on mannequins. That alone in unusual. Even more so, is that they are using an online reverse auction to buy the stuff. Considering the cost of authentic gear, not to mention reproductions and the large sizes of some of the items, the chance that the Army will get ripped off on this deal is very big. There’s no such thing as a bargain on WWII collector’s items.
