We start with a heavy and complete WWII tank first aid kit, dated 1943, filled with original contents including four-inch gauze bandages, wire splints, tincture of iodine, shell dressings, absorbent cotton, and tannic acid, all marked with the seabroad arrow. Unlike the empty boxes that turn up more often, this example retains every small box with clear military markings, making it a prized artifact for collectors of WWII medical gear.
Next is the Ross Rifle bayonet, 1907 patent, bearing the Canadian seabroad arrow. Although missing the scabbard, it’s in solid condition with original markings and untouched finish. Dave also reveals Irish Regiment of Canada pieces, including chenille embroidery patches and a canvas shoulder title showing genuine wear from a wartime uniform.
The haul continues with a 1945-dated US Army grenade pouch designed for three grenades, complete with belt and leg strap. A South African Victorian tin from 1900 featuring Queen Victoria follows, a rare Boer War era collectible in remarkably good condition.
Dave then opens an 1886 Hobson’s Military Uniform Catalogue, revealing incredible Victorian lancer uniforms, detailed color plates, regimental lace variations, and an Irish harp insignia that echoes other pieces in the collection. This rare publication offers a vivid look at pre-20th century military attire.
A 1951-dated M1 sniper rifle cheek piece appears next—unissued, complete with leather lacing, an uncommon accessory in Canada. The German K98 bayonet, dated 1942 with a 1940 scabbard, features bakelite grips and non-matching serials, offering an affordable yet authentic WWII German weapon option for collectors.
The post-war Canadian Army shirt stands out due to its unusually large 17½-inch neck size, mint unissued condition, and seabroad arrow marking. While some may attempt to misrepresent such items as wartime, Dave confirms its post-war origin while highlighting its rarity in size and condition.
A 1944-dated West Nova Scotia Regiment battle dress, named to F.E. Bates, is examined next. Although its divisional patches have been removed—likely by family for a shadow box—it still retains its regimental lanyard, Canada titles, and service stripe.
One of the most striking pieces is a yard long panoramic photograph of the 208th Canadian Irish Battalion at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, dated March 29, 1917. This WWI image captures the signal party, machine guns, and the full formation in remarkable detail. Dave explains the significance of Irish Canadian battalion photos, particularly those from units that were broken up and have no perpetuating regiments, making them highly sought after by collectors.
