USMC WWII "Frogskin" Covers - Rethinking The Norm
bargunner replied to pump 150's topic in STEEL AND KEVLAR HELMETS
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 USMC Frogskin Helmet Cover
bargunner replied to MAJAVI's topic in REENACTING GROUPS & REPRO GEAR
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. -
USMC WWII "Frogskin" Covers - Rethinking The Norm

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

Double Snapped M2 Jungle First Aid Pouch
bargunner replied to knd643's topic in FIELD & PERSONAL GEAR SECTION
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.

USMC WWII 3rd pattern helmet cover. Wrong pattern & stitch.
bargunner replied to usmc grunt's topic in REAL OR WHAT?
Looks like an SM Wholesale cover.
