Faking vintage gear
 

FAKES warning!

This "entrepreneur" is creating facsimiles of the rubber stamps that were used on a lot of USAAC-USAAF gear of all kinds - doubtless as a "tribute to the era", but for the unwary be warned > seeing the proper stamp in the proper location on an artifact is one of the deciding factors.

Cannot be too careful...

WWII Boyt 42 equipment and clothing RUBBER STAMP

This is a reproduction of the classic BOYT 42 rubber stamp that was applied to so many WWII Army and AAF field equipment. This stamp would have been applied to WWII field equipment items including back packs, utility belts, magazine clips, grenade vests, canteen holders, uniforms and many more items. It measures 1 inch across and can be used an unlimited number of times. It would be fantastic for someone doing restorations or WWII reproduction, reenacting.

Depending on the amount of inking applied to the stamp prior to application, different vintage/faded looks can easily be obtained. I include detailed application instructions.
