Description :

An exceptional, highly desirable, and completely intact World War II U.S. Navy (USN) Medical Department Pocket Surgical Kit. Unlike most field kits on the market which feature mixed post-war or cross-branch replacements, this specific set is an entirely "pure" matching assembly. Every visible surgical instrument is distinctly stamped to match the contract manufacturer and the military branch, proving it has remained intact together since the war.

Case details:

• Manufacturer: Stenciled clearly on the upper interior protective flap: "GEORGE TIEMANN & CO. NEW YORK CITY"
• Material: Heavy-duty OD/Tan canvas tri-fold pocket pouch.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The canvas remains crisp with strong color, clean stenciling, intact yellow internal retaining loops, and fully functional snap fasteners.
• Instrument Markings & Proofs:Every piece features clear, crisp stamping. Markings include:"M.D.U.S.N." (Medical Department, United States Navy)"TIEMANN" / "M.D.–USN" / "M.D.U.S.N. TIEMANN"

Included Instruments:

• Operating Scissors (Straight, sharp/blunt points)
• Halsted Mosquito/Hemostatic Forceps (Curved & Straight variants)
• Tissue/Dressing Forceps (Grooved grips)
• Director and Tongue Tie / Grooved Probe
• Surgical Scalpels / Probes

Collector's Note:George Tiemann & Co. is one of the most storied American medical instrument makers, dating back to the 19th century.

Finding a WWII Navy contract kit where the canvas roll and the stainless steel tools all bear matching Tiemann and USN manufacturer proofs is extraordinarily rare. An absolute premier upgrade piece for any WWII militaria, medical history, or USN/USMC corpsman collection.
