Sovietski Collection

"For centuries, armies have depended on highly-trained carrier pigeons to deliver life-or-death messages from the front. When we discovered these '40s-'50s-era Swiss Army bird carriers in a military supply depot near Zurich, we nearly laid an egg. Each is handcrafted from wicker and accented with leather fittings. Single-bird carrier (13"x5"x5") features a canvas and mesh ground pen. Twin-bird carrier (18"x8"x7") has padded berths, canvas cover and large wicker ground pen. Ten-bird carrier (40"x24"x11") – the Ritz-Carlton of pigeon pens – has a spring-back door, steel mesh and reinforced corners. In perfect, unissued condition. Truly among the most unusual military collectibles we've ever landed. (We have very few and they're sure to fly the coop fast.) Please specify single, twin or ten-bird carrier above."

My ecommerce site use to carry Sovietski Collection products. It is amazing how many items they carry that always seem to fit with the topic of the moment.

Of course they'd be called "Sovietski" products. LOL!
