I suspect that when you opened the WWII dresiings you might have spoiled a collector's item worth quite a bit had it been left unopened.
yea i know, but i have so many of them and i really do'nt care about the collector value...these are my dressings and i will use them as needed and i do'nt plan on selling them to re-enactors or what not...vince g. 11B INF...(genuine Infantry soldier)
