SGM (ret.) Posted November 6, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 6, 2007 Dang, Craig! You come up with the best information! You know, one day, you need to sit down and start writing some serious reference books, even self-published photocopy works would probably sell like hot cakes right off your kitchen table. You simply have an overwhelming amount of knowledge and a life's time worth of collecting experience (not to mention your collection, itself). In the mean time, I certainly appreciate your taking the time and effort to selflessly share with the rest of us. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagman Posted November 6, 2007 Share #10 Posted November 6, 2007 Gentlemen: I believe that all these great illustrations come from a manual entitled Description of the INFANTRY EQUIPMENT Model of 1910, Government Printing Office 1917. Reprints of this publication are listed at Dixie Gun Works (www.dixiegun.com) as Item No. BK2225 for $10.00. Don't know if they are in stock or not. Have had my copy for several years. This is for those who would like a hard copy to study. The book has full text descriptions of all gear. Enjoy. Bagman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meatcan Posted November 7, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 7, 2007 just curious, but why was the 5' steel tape standard issue at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted November 7, 2007 According to the manual the 5' Tape was not issued to everyone. It was issued to the First SGT for use in the field and elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTGSANCHEZ Posted November 7, 2007 Share #13 Posted November 7, 2007 I like that early style haversack with the rounded tails, thick shoulder straps, and lace on meat can pouch. Anyone got an original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share #14 Posted November 8, 2007 http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=3026 There are several of them on the forum. Some are in the reference section at the above link. Others may have been added since then. The straps are misleading in the pic. Actually they are a single thickness piece of cloth the same as the pack body and then the edging is applied to that. They are thin and soft.

Keystone Posted November 10, 2007 Share #15 Posted November 10, 2007 Here are some pictures of my early M1910 gear. The haversack, mess kit pouch, pack tail and e-tool cover are undated. The belt looks to be dated 1913. The canteen cover is dated 1912. The first aid pouch is dated 1911 as is the mess kit, knife, fork and spoon. The bayonet is dated 1913 and the scabbard is dated 1912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keystone Posted November 10, 2007 Share #18 Posted November 10, 2007 The e-tool is also undated but is Ordnance Department marked on the handle which makes me think it is probably pre or early WW1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keystone Posted November 10, 2007 Share #19 Posted November 10, 2007 The shelter half is the pre-WW1 type with the two triangular ends and aluminum pins. The blanket is the 3 pound 1911 QM spec for the 1910 equipment. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share #23 Posted February 21, 2011 If you will look at the original post date you will see it was done 9 or 10 days after the forum started, it was done quickly to answer someones question and the same info is posted in other threads giving credit to the original manual. This is not from a reproduction publication but original manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Trzaska Posted March 17, 2011 Share #25 Posted March 17, 2011 Has anyone ever written a book about the development of the Model of 1910 gear detailing all the new equipment released that year? I see the photos here and have the booklet in question, I am asking about an in depth investigation or a history of the 1910 gear. If so what is the book title, or the best one available on the subject. Thanks! All the best Frank Trzaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
