Anyone?

Given the clarity of the pics, I'd hazard a guess that it's worth what you paid for it...it does not give me a warm fuzzy.

 

However, if it's legit, I'd estimate it's worth somewhere in the $100-$150 range, though I haven't watched them lately. My estimate could be inaccurate. Have you checked either ebay or gunbroker completed auctions for what they bring?

I checked eBay ther were like 8. All reproductions sorry for the crappy pictures. The canvas is faded od3 and the makers stamp is there but faded. Ill try to get better pictures.

Looks like a repro to me.

[WWII_GI]

The snaps have the dot on the front and on the other side they are marked

united Carr

Boston mass.

Maybe so, but it's still a repro. One give away is the faint US marking. That's not faded, it's from a lightly inked stamp.

Here's a couple of my originals. They are both JQMD 1943. The markings are quite different from your pouch.

Ok I'll just sell it As a repro

I flipped it inside out and it is stitched wit nylon thread. There's a dead giveaway.
