I thought this was cool to get off fleabay. GI captured from the PO Valley Itlay apirl 23 1945. He was with the 337 Infantry Regiment, He earned his Combat infantry badge on 15th of January,1945. Its marked KY 1937. Chain is marked the same. Oiler is the late black plactric one. No german brusches. The date Earl etched is significant because it was the day US Forces successifully crossed the Po River heading North to the Alps.

That’s a fantastic kit!! Good find. I’m not overly picky about contents when buying with a cool inscription.
 
I like these captured and re-utilized Rg34s. There is a place for such kits as a subset of Rg34 collecting.
