Edelweisse Posted August 18, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 18, 2018 Hi: I found a small mattock pick in garage at an estate sale & I debated buying it...since the head was stamped "TAIWAN" I decided to buy it...it's OD Green w/o web holder. Did Taiwan make field gear for the US military....occasionally I see canteens with "JAPAN" ...but I wanted too ask the question. I'm sure someone will know...Thank you for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polygon Posted August 18, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 18, 2018 Those are commercially made items for the hiking and outdoors market. You can usually tell they are copies even without the Japan or Taiwan markings due to the flimsiness of the materials and construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
