This is an increasingly hard-to-find original component of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) Type C-1 survival vest—an authentic WWII-era spit and gaff set. Designed for survival situations, this set was an essential tool for aircrews who found themselves stranded in the wild, whether at sea or in remote terrain.
Features & Condition:
- Complete Spit & Gaff Set: The set includes the spit, which conveniently folds into four sections for compact storage, and the gaff, which retains all of its original hooks and fittings.

- Multi-Purpose Utility: Primarily designed for fishing and hunting in survival conditions, this set also had alternate applications in various survival kits used by airmen during WWII.
