Federal Issue Shelter Tent half patterned after the TYPE- 2A CONTRACT VARIANTS, each half featuring the standard construction used in tents to this day, namely full width panels of closed selvage fabric. Made of three panels, with the center panel added to bring the single shelter half to regulation width. For those who may not know 2 of these buttons together to make a shelter tent. Each Federal soldier was expected to carry one half in his knapsack and then team up with another soldier to make one shelter tent to share between them. Each shelter half measures approximately 60” X 64” inches. Each half sold separately, so remember it takes 2 halves to make a whole shelter tent. This a TYPE 2A Selter half.
Select your preference of “JOSPEH LEE” stamp or “H.S. McCombs” stamp. Either would have been issued anywhere.
