THAT GUY Posted July 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 8, 2011 Now I know there is a ref. section with transitional pieces, but I'm sure members on the forum have more examples than what is shown so I'm asking you to post your transitional piece of field gear for everyone to see. Please, only WWII items. Any condition is accepted, mint being even better so we can see what the colors originally looked like. :thumbsup: I will start with my pieces. -Sam I counted 4 different shades of green on the Aldon 1945 :w00t: I am not sure if the Harian 43 cover is a transitional, but I counted 3 different color schemes. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Flage Guy Posted July 9, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 9, 2011 Here's the first "trans" I ever scored; I couldn't pass it up and couldn't figure out why it was made like this, but became educated in due time. Thus began my extreme liking for this stuff. :thumbsup: A Power Source Pack for a Metal Detector, found in Strand Surplus Senter of Galveston!!

17thairborne Posted July 13, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 13, 2011 I just got this one a while ago. I love the different numbers of 3 and 5. The lid is light OD3 on the top and medium OD3 on the inside. There are 3 other different shades on the trim, closure tab and the hanger loops.
