    This Buy it Now auction is for two U.S. Military Tent Shelter Halves, some poles, and some stakes.  The Military would issue half of a two man tent to a soldier, and make them buddy up with another soldier.  This is a WW2 tent design, that was still in used during the Vietnam War era, and latter into the Desert Storm era.  There were some tents halves that used buttons to connect together, and some used snaps to connect together.  These two Tent Shelter Halves are the kind that uses snaps to connect together.  Both of the Tent Shelter Halves have an Army "US" marking on the outside of the tent half.  There is also printed Quartermaster information with a "DSA" Defense Supply Administration stock number with a 1967 date on one half.  The other Tent Shelter Half has a "DLA" Defense Logistics Administration stock number with a "-86-" 1986 date.  Both of the Tent Shelter Halves have some sun fading, dirt stains, scratches, paint loss, oxidation to the metal parts, and small rip hole damage.  There are five Tent Poles that are a Late-WW2 era design.  One of the poles has a 1968 date, and another has a 1983 date.  A bunch of the poles have faded markings.  A full tent would have six pole parts, and a soldier would be only issued three pole parts.  There are also some Vietnam to 1980s era tent stakes.  You get two tent halves, five the poles, and six stakes.  This is almost a whole pup tent, it is just missing one tent pole.  Also a couple of stakes might be missing.  These items are old and in Used Condition with wear damage from use.  There is sun fading, dirt stains, small rip hole damage, dents, scratches, paint loss, and oxidation to the metal parts.  These items are no longer in the perfect condition that they once were in the day they were originally manufactured.  These items are both damaged from having been used, and damaged from being old.  Time slowly destroys old things.  These items can be mailed in a Large size USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box.
