***For - this bottle is a reproduction with a reproduction label for reenactment and cosplay. It does NOT contain any insect repellent. It is empty. It has never contained any repellent whatsoever. It is a display prop only.***
HELMET IS FOR DISPLAY ONLY.
YOU ARE PURCHASING THE REPRO BOTTLE ONLY.
For your consideration, a very nice reproduction of the Insect Repellent bottles often carried underneath the band of the M1 Helmet during Vietnam.
The bottles themselves are as close as you can get, size wise, to originals. As of May ‘21, the labels are now made of durable, weather resistant premium vinyl and are laminated to protect the label itself from exposure to rain and sunlight. These are perfect for reenactors who want a bottle that won’t have to be replaced every few events in the field! If you get dirty at an event, they can be cleaned easily to return to as-issued condition. They can also be beautifully weathered more permanently with various model paints and washes if you prefer.
I’ve included photos of side-by-side comparisons of my reproduction bottle alongside an original. As you can see, they’re as close as you can get without dropping $60 on an original bottle.
THE HELMET AND ORIGINAL BUG JUICE BOTTLE ARE ONLY FOR DISPLAY AND ARE NOT INCLUDED.
Please note, due to ’s Managed Payment program, your order will ship as soon as payment clears. Thanks for looking and check my other listings for other great militaria!
