These snowshoes are believed to have been issued to the 10th Mountain Division during the Second Great War are manufactured by C.A. Lund Co. out of Hastings MINN - one of four manufactures to provide snowshoes for the war effort. The rawhide snowshoes are carved on the junction with "U.S. 1941 1928/1917 - Lund 10x58". Each snowshoe also has its manufacture stamp "Made by C.A. Lund CO. Hastings MINN U.S.A". They are also marked on the bottom with what seems to be the issued soldiers name "J. Kriesel" The snowshoes are in very good condition, showing one minor flaw in the rawhide weave - please reference photos. Each snowshoe measures approximately 58" long, 10" wide, and 8" to the top of the nose.
