Original U.S. Band of Brothers Dog Tag Set, Rubber M1 Garand Clip, Parachute Material “Scarf”, and Map Used in Show

Original Item. One-of-a-Kind set. This is a lovely set of film history, a set of items used in the filming and development of Band of Brothers. They include a set of blank dog tags, a rubber M1 Garand “Mannlicher” style clip, a scarf made from camouflage parachute material, and a cloth “escape map”.

The dog tags come with a very small laminated “COA” which denotes that the dog tag set was purchased from the wardrobe department. The rubber M1 Garand clip has some material loss on the tip of one of the bullets as shown.

The parachute scarf measures roughly 11 x 38” and shows tearing along the edges. The map is the “Zones of France” escape map and is a good copy of the originals. A great map from the show. 

Ready for further research and display.

Band of Brothers is a 2001 American war drama miniseries based on historian Stephen E. Ambrose's 1992 non-fiction book of the same name. It was created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who also served as executive producers, and who had collaborated on the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan. Episodes first aired on HBO from September 9, to November 4, 2001. Critically acclaimed, the series won the Emmy and Golden Globe awards for best miniseries.

The series dramatizes the history of "Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. It begins during Easy Company's paratrooper training and follows its participation in the Western Front of World War II. The events are based on Ambrose's research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans. The series took some literary license, adapting history for dramatic effect and series structure. The characters portrayed are based on members of Easy Company. Each episode begins with excerpts from interviews with some of the survivors, who are identified by name only at the end of the finale.
