I believe that clip from post 325 is postwar due to the life vests. Here is one I'm quite certain is of a slit-less helmet cover on Okinawa. https://catalog.archives.gov/id/74251564

Repro with the messy stitching on the edge.

ATF's new run with their new camo(pictures have not been updated on their site) is by far the best from what I've seen.

Thoughts on this? http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675052779_6th-Marine-Division-4th-Marines_interrogation_civilian-prisoner_camp-fire

Could someone confirm these are WWII salt tablets?

It's a cutter tag. Any pictures of the front of the trousers and the waistband?

I would leave it. You might get some stuff on the Hbt and stain it.

This has been labeled as fake. It looks original to me. Thoughts? http://m.ebay.com/itm/391566881679?_trksid=p2056016.l4276&_mwBanner=1

Username, the one on the top left is indeed an Arnold Mfg. pouch. I do remember the Boyt pouch with the bent hook on eBay a while back, but I never got that one. Neither of these 4 snap pouches came from eBay. That was also a 2 snap pouch if I remember right. In regards to the tab, when you fold it up into the flap I guess it would do a good job of retaining band aids or other small flat things from falling out of the compartment. I assume they went to the loop shortly after.

Anyone got a link?

I have 2 SANICOT PRODUCTS CO. MANCHESTER, N.H.1943 dated pouches.

It's real. No one makes a reproduction of that variant yet that I know of.

Looks like an SM Wholesale cover.
