Subject: Re: doppkit



Anyone ever hear of the word "doppkit" used for the shaving kits

servicement used in WWII? Tom Murray has heard it from a 60ish

colleague, but its not in DARE or anywhere else.



I remember hearing my two older brothers use this term in reference to

their faux-leather, zippered shaving kit bags in the mid-1960's. I

had always presumed that it was a trademarked term.
