craig_pickrall Posted January 12, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 12, 2007 The one on the right with double snap hooks was popular with paratroopers. You will see them hanging on the chest and snapped to the D rings on the M36 suspenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted January 12, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 12, 2007 I was under the impression that the one of the styles was developed for airborne use.I have thought that for a long time and not sure where I got that impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchmanjimg Posted October 11, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 11, 2009 Can anyone tell me if there was ever a GP strap configuration to accommodate the type of bag as shown at left (one each snap hook and D-ring)? Also, any idea as to why the different versions were produced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted October 17, 2009 Share #7 Posted October 17, 2009 Until today, I thought the D-Ring Bag was a 1945 design, but I was wrong...Bilko, thanks for the education :thumbsup: Here's a few General Purpose Bags, though the group has grown since this shot was taken... On a trivial note, I've never seen any photos of Marines using these Bags...anyone out there have contrary evidence?? :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
