Captain America - US Army - Operation Rebirth brought about the classic uniform modeled after the American flag and, most notably, issued a heater-style (like a crusading knight would carry, meting out justice) bulletproof shield, which he would become famous for, a personal side arm, and the codename Captain America. His mission - to fight Germany's terrorist group, lead by the villainous Red Skull, during the War years of the 40's.
When initially drawn in the iconic comic there were multiple artists used and it's hard to know exactly when, but this variant is drawn into many of the comics with red & white vertical stripes as opposed to the red, white & blue of many original drawings. Artistic license? Either way it gives all you Cap fans a chance to own some very rare and unique comic history. Includes full size, wood display plaque which mimics an old Army crate and is hand stenciled, plus full color, numbered certificate of authenticity. Only 500 will be made so get to it soldier.
