1 U.S. World War 2 9th Armored Division soldier's knife/uniform grouping.  This comprehensive grouping would make a perfect military collector's display. 

The veteran served in Rhineland, the Ardennes, and Central Europe.

This grouping consists of the following:

• San Antonio Iron Works Patton Sword fighting knife--the back of the scabbard has the vet's serial #
• a copy of 9th Armored Sgt. Spengler's service record
• his uniform jacket
• Camp Polk, Louisiana items: pennant & post card
• various patches
• 9th Armored Trains Mess No. 2 ID card
• booklet The 9th -- The Story of the 9th Armored Division
• booklet German Language Guide
• booklet Company Duties, A Checklist--War Edition
• a grouping display panel--describes the grouping for display at a Show or in a personal collection
• original portrait of Sgt. Spengler

This vintage U.S. WW2 9th Armored Division veteran grouping is in excellent condition.  The uniform jacket is in perfect condition.  There are no moth holes or any problems like that.  The Patton knife has its perfect San Antonio Iron Works scabbard.  The knife blade did experience some oxidation--after the oxidation was removed, carbon patina staining remained.  The handle has a stable crack--which appears to have occurred at and then repaired at San Antonio Iron Works.  The other items in this grouping are in generally very nice condition.
