The latest items I scrounged from ebay.fr and from militaria shows...
An original US M1928 doughboy pack with 1918 dated insert.
Red three piece beret
Mle 52 colonial shoulder boards with Adjudant rank
Six MAT-49 magazines
French Mle DF37/46 hand grenade
Italian paratrooper boots (similar to French Mle 50 para boots)
French medal ribbon collection (direct from Arthus Bertrand Paris)
6e BPC pocket badge (recent 6e RPIMa issue).
of note: the Italian para boots differ from French Mle 50 boots in the lack of heel reinforcments, different tread patterns, and a lack of a horizontal stitched line 1'' down from the top of the boot leg. I feel that with a change of laces they would be fairly good for photoshoots/reenactments.
Medal ribbons in order left to right:
1) Croix de Guerre 39-45 2) Croix de Guerre TOE 3) Croix du Combattant
4) Medaille Coloniale 5) Medaille Commemorative de 2eme Guerre Mondiale 6) Medaille Commemorative du Guerre Indochine
7)Medaille due blesse
