MCDUFF Posted April 9, 2016 Share #126 Posted April 9, 2016 Here's a 1943 dated Jungle first aid pouch with what looks to be a UNIS mark on the back, and a carbine pouch with another UNIS mark.

Blacksmith Posted April 11, 2016 Share #132 Posted April 11, 2016 Any documentation / research suggest why the overwhelming majority of contemporary UNIS marked items are 4th MarDiv? And I'm referring to beyond this thread - to even what's available in the market. A lot of 4th, some 1st, a little 5th. Has anyone ever seen any 6th MarDiv UNIS marked gear (circle)?

Only seen one, an Army production canteen cover issued to a Marine, estate fresh. Would have bid and won if seller had thought to ask for name of vet at sale lol...

Here is a unis mark on a 6th Div kit bag to a marine of 2-22 who fought at Okinawa. I haven't seen any of these marks on smaller items of kit. I have his P41s which only have his name stencil on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on post #130. I like the seller description as well about the kills. Due to the low quality of the pictures, I hadn't noticed the yellow stenciled "113" marking under the black "111". The name is T. W. Torgerson. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky 7th Armored Posted July 2, 2016 Share #149 Posted July 2, 2016 I've had this jerry can for years given to me by my high school lacrosse coach. He knew I collected military items so he gave it to me. I was younger and ignorant and I recently rediscovered it in my basement and noticed the UNIS marking!
