2-53 dated compass with questions

[joefriday22]

Hi folks,

I picked this up a few days ago and I've tried to find info on the era of the case. I've looked around and seen similar cases. Some khaki in color with OD piping, some all OD like this one, some with no split up the inside middle, and some with the split like this one.

 

Is there a difference in the time frame of these slightly different pouches?

 

 

 

Thank you,

Rob

It is the correct model of pouch for that compass. These pouches came out in 1950.
