was made for WWI. It was not sold to the US

gifts for soldiers orused them themselves. Most of
the sets bought by the government had J serial

Property U.S. Army. I have a Khaki Set identical to
this and itshaves wonderful. My everday Gillette is
an Old Style just a few years newer than that
one.Best shave on the planet.There were at least two
Gillette Khaki sets made/sold to the U.S. Government
from 1918-1920. There was a Gillette Military set
that was a khaki-covered hard case that snapped. It
was basicallya Traveller set (razor, two blade
holders, a soap tube, and a brush tube) covered in
khaki. The Gillette Service Sets (in the metal
cases) were sold through retailers (at least
throughSears, Roebuck) and were also from around
1918. There are at least three versions of this for
theU.S. and one Canadian version. There's also one
lithographed tin for the U.S.This is a civil set.
It says: "Made in USA" on the bottom blade plate.
This canvas set says"PROPERTY OF THE US ARMY.The
sets for soldiers says: "Property US Army" on the
bottom blade plate. 1918 SERIEL NUMBER
