M1Garandy Posted November 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2016 In this old thread stated in 2007: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19851&st=0 Craig Pickrall posted three different versions of the M42 and M42A1 carrying case for the M15 tripod. Has anyone ever seen this version with a canvas tip reinforcement instead of leather? I'm wondering if this predates the leather reinforced version. Until this one showed up in the mail, I don't think I'd ever seen a pre-A1 M42 case in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter B Posted December 6, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2016 Well, last weekend I found one in Belgium, it has the same canvas tip like the one in your picture. Not sure how to date them... Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1Garandy Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted December 7, 2016 Neat, does it also have a small rivet at the bottom like mine does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1Garandy Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted December 5, 2017 Here is another M42 case in a style I've not seen before that showed up in yesterdays mail. Canvas and leather body with a snap closure but with a nylon shoulder strap with C tip ends. Marked as an M42 case on the outside, but no markings found on the inside.

M1Garandy Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted December 8, 2018 I found yet another version of the M42 carrying case. It has what appears to be a nylon strap like the previous version I posted, but the strap material on this one is much thicker and a different color and weave. I thought maybe the strap had been replaced, but it does not look like it on the inside to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
