10th Mountain
This is a set of never issued/used government contract wood skis as used by FSSF (First Special Service Force) and 10th Mtn Division troops in WWII. Both skis are 89 inches in length. They have never had binding and what little wear these skis have was caused by 65+ years of storage. One ski is marked “76, “US”, 8392, 12/42″ and “Gregg MFG., St. Paul, MINN.”. The other ski is marked “‘U.S.’, 4244, 76, 2-43″ and “S.L. Allen & Co, Inc. Phila, PA.”.

10th Mountain
These are part of a group of 10th Mountain Division items I recently acquired. They are WWII issue wooden ski poles with hexagonal shaped wood shafts and wood rimmed baskets woven in leather. The grips and wrist thongs are also leather. The poles are in excellent condition and appear to have never been used. The light wear they exhibit was probably caused by 65 years of storage. These would be difficult to upgrade.
Price: SOLD

10th Mountain
I recently acquired these ski poles along with other mountain troop items I will be listing shortly. They are very early poles literally made from shaped sticks of hickory as used by 10th Mtn Division and FSSF (First Special Service Forces) troops. The baskets rims appear to be made from bent ash woven in leather. The wrist thongs are a herringbone woven material. They have inventory numbers painted over the white finish and are in structurally sound condition.
Price: $85.00 (USD)
