Rhscott Posted October 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2018 When was the transition from the round wooden tent pins to the aluminum ones? Have the short aluminum ones always been orange? My guess is the transition happened sometime in the 1960s but does someone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted October 7, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 7, 2018 I am not sure when the transition occurred there was a post on the TM concerning the orange stakes...stating the stakes were to be orange for visibility, unless in the field, then they were to be green...That was a quote taken from the TM...from a thread on the forum awhile ago...made me chuckle not my quote... and maybe I am not quoting it correctly,,call it a summation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted October 7, 2018 Share #3 Posted October 7, 2018 here is a thread that will help explain the metal stakeshttp://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/180210-shelter-half-tent-stakes/ looks like 1949 for the T shaped orange/green stakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
