craig_pickrall Posted January 10, 2007 #1 Posted January 10, 2007 This is a series of pics that are a bit dated now. I took them about 4 years ago and there is some additional info available now but I have not updated the pics.
dustin Posted January 10, 2007 #14 Posted January 10, 2007 I thought I might add the KIT FIRST AID CAMOFLAGUED AVIATION INDIVIDUAL this is a Bureau of Aeronautics kit.The first picture of the pouch open is a borrowed picture.
Keystone Posted January 11, 2007 #18 Posted January 11, 2007 I posted these on the MCF forum but can't find the original photos so here are some updated ones: RIA 1913 date on the inside of pouch.
2ad82recon Posted January 11, 2007 #20 Posted January 11, 2007 My "Long Pointed" Flap M1924 is made by Jeff QMD and dated 1942. For some reason its got the collecting "moniker" of Airborne as you see a lot of early 82nd and 101 troops with them in pictures. I dont think its strictly AIRBORNE but more of a general item and the long flap makes it easier to find and pull up to release the FAD in "combat".
General Apathy Posted January 15, 2007 #21 Posted January 15, 2007 Love all the good decent photos of the pouches, as there are a lot of WWI pouches on there, I thought I would show a white cotton rubberised version dated 1917, the black elastic band was on all of them, I had a pack of ten in orginal dated carton.
artu44 Posted January 15, 2007 #22 Posted January 15, 2007 Hey General, I wonder why they did issue that black rubber string on paper wrapped packet. Mine is a dec.1917 and since WWI it didn't see sunlight until the seller took it out its pouch for this pic. Too bad we didn't find the rubber band, if any.
bilko1 Posted January 21, 2007 #25 Posted January 21, 2007 Check the size of my fa pouch next to the long flap M1924 is this a short flap M1924?
