Literally, a friend of mine has been cleaning out an old barn...when the military stuff pops up he asks me about it...the other day he texted saying he put a pile of junk by my car...a few GP ammo pouches 44 dated and this little beauty...some minor critter nips and it has the holster...

made by Reliance

 

I had a C-1 that I bought in 1985 from Aviators World, Mojave CA, ran by Lee and Diane...if anyone remembers then..25.00 without the holster, made by Sears...I wore it the USAF when flying on C-130s between Germany and Italy/Spain...following our Phantom squadron...nothing in it but maybe a candy bar or two...but was fun to wear..

 

anyway this is a pretty nice C-1...nice Hap Arnold stamp and a black one on the inside...
