Original M1910 US Military Shelter Half EARLY RARE WW1 Doughboy Pre WW2 Tent Pup

Excellent condition, rare original US Military Shelter Half M1910. Excellent condition as pictured, no rips tears, all buttons present (early style, see pics). In 1910 the US Army Infantry and Cavalry adopted separate designs for a new shelter half. The Cavalry opted for this one, the same basic style that had been in use since 1892, while the Infantry adopted a much smaller shelter half designed to use a rifle in the front and a bayonet in the back in lieu of poles. Experience gained during the Punitive Expedition convinced the Army to standardize on the Cavalry pattern shelter half in 1917.

Very rare shelter half, especially in this condition!
