Piratelou Posted October 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 26, 2013 I can't make out who the manufacturer is on this pouch. Is it JEFF. O.M.D.? I heard of B.S.S. Co. making these pouches, but JEFF. OMD? Is this really authentic? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321236359826 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted October 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 26, 2013 It is JEFF QMD and it stands for Jefferson Quartermaster Depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausto Posted October 26, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 26, 2013 Hi! I would just add that the offered pouch doesn't look - in my opinion - so "mint" as stated by the seller. And a bit expensive too... That said this pouch is interesting -. again in my opinion - because it sports the old style 3 lines markings, just like the earlier pointed flap Jeff. Q.M.D. 1942 (while in a different font). In the same 1943 year the Depot dropped this style of markings, turning to the two lines style, that we will find in 1944 and 1945 examples. Here some pictures of a 3 lines really mint example, and a later 2 lines marking style... Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldabewla Posted October 27, 2013 Share #6 Posted October 27, 2013 Fausto, The 1942 pointed flap is the model M1924. I have two 1942 Jeff QM first aid pouches one is the M1910 WWI style & the M1924 point flap style. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fausto Posted October 27, 2013 Share #8 Posted October 27, 2013 Craig ! Outstanding examples of two not so easy to find FA pouches especially in this superb condition... Yes, obviously I forgot to specify that the pointed flap was the M1924 while the pouch in discussion is a M1942. Anyhow I incline to consider the pointed flap pouch by the Depot as a model on its own, due to the very particular construction... And don't forget that the Jeffersonville Depot made - always in the same year 1942 - a third model after the odd M1910 and the pointed flap... This time a truly standard M1924... Here a couple of pictures of this not so easy encountered FA pouch... As I told several times in past the Jeffersonville first aid pouches made from 1942 to 1945 could form a little but interesting collection on its own...

oldabewla Posted October 28, 2013 Share #9 Posted October 28, 2013 Fausto, Three different types of the 1942 JQMD first aid pouch that is interesting! those two pictured, I purchased about ten years ago and I paid $45 for the M1910 & the M1924 I purchased from a dealer for $20 and it was a steal! I have a collection of JQMD canteen pouches as well the 1944 is the hardest to find! Nice 1942 & 43 pouches by the way! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
