etienne Posted September 8, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 8, 2013 There's generally some USMC or USN markings on the edge of the poncho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Posted September 8, 2013 Share #8 Posted September 8, 2013 Hi,this is 100% original WWII. USMC or USN poncho. Ponchos manufactured in late 1944 had the added feature of gromments located at the four corners of the poncho. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marentius Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted September 8, 2013 thank you very much for all the informations,I'll try to see if I can find any marking near the edge.So this is a 1st pattern,since there are no reinforced grommets near the corners.
