SYRINGE CASES
FOR WORLD WAR ONE US ARMY MEDICAL OFFICER’S BELT: Necessary to complete
the World War One Medical Officer’s Belt, these Syringe
Cases are in the original Medical Department wool felt bags, and
are
complete with a fully functional syringe, two needle assemblies,
and the needle cleaning wires in the tube. This is
a scarce item to find loose on the market and I have
secured a very limited supply.
There were two different styles of the stamping on these
sets - both reading "MED.DEPT.U.S.A.". The
small font style stamped in the top of the lid as is
shown in NO. 1 below, and the larger font style stamped
on the side of the case lid as shown in NO. 2. If
you have a preference between the two, let me know when
you place your order and I'll accommodate you.

SYRINGE CASE FOR WORLD WAR ONE
US ARMY MEDICAL OFFICER’S BELT:
The aluminum syringe case is
marked “MED DEPT U.S.A.” on the top of the hinged lid. The case is
full form and the lid opens freely on the
intact spring loaded hinge. The original cotton
batting cushioning material is still present inside the
lid which kept the contents from rattling.
The syringe is maker marked "TAG" on the thumb rest of
the plunger. The syringe is fully functional, all
of the threads on the tip and in the sockets of the
needles are clear and functional, and the cleaning wires
in the tube are present.
The fully intact original OD green wool felt bag is in
excellent condition with no mothing, all the seams are
intact, and the snap closure male and female components
are both present and the snap functions properly.
Considering how rare the bags are and how few of them
survived, that this bag is present with this Syringe
Case is a definite added value.
Overall this is a complete set in excellent condition,
and it is a very nice
WWI US Army Medical Department accessory that will add
significantly to your Medical Officer’s Belt.

SYRINGE CASE FOR WORLD WAR ONE
US ARMY MEDICAL OFFICER’S BELT:
The aluminum syringe case is
marked “MED DEPT U.S.A.” on the face of the hinged lid. The case is
full form and the lid opens freely on the
intact spring loaded hinge. The original cotton
batting cushioning material is still present inside the
lid which kept the contents from rattling.
The wool felt bags made for these syringe cases were
made in at least three colors - the more common OD
green, brown, and this maroon - the color of branch of the US Army
Medical Department. The maroon and
brown bags are considerably scarcer than the OD green
version, but frankly none of the felt bags are common,
as most of these syringe cases that do surface on the
market are missing the bags. This bag has suffered
from considerable mothing due to poor storage through
the years, however all of the seams are intact, and the interior flap is present. The snap closure
male and female components are both present and the snap
functions properly. The mothing to this bag is primarily cosmetic, with the
bag still keeping its shape and form, and considering
how rare the bags are and how few of them survived, that
this bag is present with this Syringe Case is a definite
added value.
Overall this is a nice complete
WWI US Army Medical Department accessory that will add
significantly to your Medical Officer’s Belt.
