Strange but awesome WWI Khaki set

I have been trying to find a nice Khaki set for a while. I wanted to avoid the civilian version in favor of the military issued set. I found some with the correct case, “property of the US Army” vs. “Made in USA”, but the razor didn’t have the gov engraving meaning it was not original. Found some that looked OK but had a crack in the handle. All of them had torn up cases but 100 year old fabric can only do so much. Then I found this, it was too nice not to buy but it is unique.

It has the original paper box marked “property of the US Army” and the head / handle have the appropriate gov engraving. It does say “Made in USA” on the case and mirror which is odd. It also does not have the thumb tacks. Most confusing, It appears to have 2 mirrors and the one in the case is upside down. It should be here Wednesday so I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Considering the quality I got a pretty good deal. The seller marked it WWII (vs WWI) and misspelled the word Khaki in the description so it may not have popped up on other peoples searches.

I'm not sure is attaching an imgur album is the correct way to attach an image so here is the link:

Nice find, and I hope it meets your expectations.

(By the way, for future reference, if you click on one of your own Imgur images when logged in there, it should present a list of links on the right side of the image. If you copy the BBCode link into one of these posts, the image should show up directly. I hope that helps.)
