United States of America - Nice WW2 Heart Shield ''Bulletproof'' bible - Infantry - Airborne - no reserve price - Military equipment - 1943

Marcel van Hulst

Selected by Marcel van Hulst

Exceedingly difficult to find - an original and uncleaned(!) Heart Shield Bible in nice issued condition, not a depot piece. This bible is reasonable and clearly ISSUED condition, i.e. worn. The bible dates from 1943 (see (10)43 on one of the first pages, photo #4). The metal plates were to prevent a bullet from reaching the soldier’s heart (which they did on several occasions. surface of the bible has a great patina and has the text: ''May the lord be with you''. Please look at all of the attached photo's carefully. A really nice piece, with a great patina. Unique 100% original item for your US WW2 collection; will for sure be a nice addition for your collection!
