combat-helmets Posted August 23, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 23, 2011 Need to get your M1 Garand bayonet and sheath now! Personally, I like the long bladed Springfield bayonets myself, but that would attach to the side of the pack to the hooks at the top of the M41 pack! Impressive display! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all that helped, including a very big big thankyou to od man and craig the moderator for the link :thumbsup: all i need now is a good bolo knife and a camo suit You need to get rid of the Brit made T Handle shovel cover and get a Marine cover or U.S. Marked. I don't think Marines used Brit made gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14alpha Posted September 18, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 18, 2011 I believe U.S. Marked was not Marine issue, it was just blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted September 18, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 18, 2011 There are a few photos showing the US marked covers in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 18, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 18, 2011 There are a few photos showing the US marked covers in use. I've never seen a marine using British made gear but as Craig has said I have seen U.S. Stamped gear used by marines. The cover used here is a British made cover for the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
