SURPLUS - Genuine Issue, HW - Gloves
We discvered these in our warehouse,the packing said 1943...My Grandfather wore these in the Battle of the Bulge.These trigger finger mittens are for mild to cold weather. They are knitted wool. The knit gauge is small therefore making it difficult for cold air to creep through any space in the mitt. Being that they are made of the warmest natural fiber around- wool, you will fell surely feel the difference. Trigger finger gloves are used for many reasons. They were created to work a rifle properly in the winter weather, though all kinds of outdoor work can be done with them. Operating chainsaws, delivering mail, snowplowing. Make your life a whole lot easier by using these gloves to enable your fingers the warmth without sacrificing less warmth to a glove. * They can be worn as liners in trigger finer gloves or alone as gloves

Comments about WW2 Unissued Knit Wool Trigger Mittens:
Although I probably should have ordered a smaller size, I LOVE these mittens. I have a seriously deformed little finger from a dislocation caused by a fall. I cannot get my hand into a glove (of which I have many!), but having the "trigger" finger as well as the thumb allows me to grasp the dog leash more securely when walking my golden lab. This is the perfect answer to my problem!
