WWII CBI-Made USAAF Blood Chit Multi-Piece Leather w/ Possible Maker Mark <p> NOT AVAILABLE

This is a circa World War II leather "blood chit" made in the China-Burma-India theatre. It is in a multi-piece leather construction showing wonderful renditions of the United States and Chinese flags side by side, with Chinese characters written below. Blood chits were a means of communicating one's affiliation and intentions, and were worn upon flight jackets by both pilots and crew. This chit has "USM" written twice on the reverse, and may be a maker's mark of sorts.

Circa World War II.

Approximately 10" in width and 9-1/2" in height.

Multi-piece leather sewn with cotton/silk threads.

7 (Very Fine): The chit is in great shape overall with some spots of wear and minor discoloration and one slight chewed spot along the edge.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
