Item Description
Original Item: Only One Pair Available. These are nearly impossible to find on the market today: an authentic pair of World War Two United States Airborne Paratrooper Leather Gloves as used by Paratroopers on D-day! These gloves were originally designed to be cavalry riding gloves, but were adopted for use by US airborne paratroopers during WWII as well as various other “specialty” type soldiers. They were issued with and without buckles, and this pair is the Type II version with the buckle adjustment for the wrist closure.
The interior of both gloves retain the same marking:
