'Flage Guy Posted March 17, 2010 #33 Posted March 17, 2010 Dang :pinch: I keep finding stuff I forgot about...this is a Power Source Pack for a Metal Detector, I believe...
General Apathy Posted March 17, 2010 Author #34 Posted March 17, 2010 Dang :pinch: I keep finding stuff I forgot about...this is a Power Source Pack for a Metal Detector, I believe... Hi Jim, crikey I had forgotton all about this topic I started back in 2007 I think, so you keep finding stuff to add here, well done. :thumbsup: Cheers Lewis
'Flage Guy Posted March 18, 2010 #35 Posted March 18, 2010 Ken: Much obliged, friend :thumbsup: That was the first "transitional" piece I ever saw- picked it up in a giant surplus store in Galveston, Tx., way back before I became informed as to why such differing colors were used on a single item. It is actually the craziest "mismatch" of the whole pile; should take a few close-up shots of it. I'm really surprised there haven't been more photo contributions to this thread...

I know what store you are talking about... it may have been wiped out by Ike in 08. Sam
'Flage Guy Posted March 18, 2010 #37 Posted March 18, 2010 I know what store you are talking about... it may have been wiped out by Ike in 08. Sam Strand Surplus Senter, owned and operated by my old friend Meyer Reiswerg, a.k.a. Col. Bubbie. Wow- I wonder how he fared from that...he had 3 warehouses of stuff... :think: UPDATE: I just did a quick search, and learned that Meyer passed away last May :crying: The store is still going, though.

285th FAOB Posted August 30, 2010 #40 Posted August 30, 2010 Great thread! I always pick up the mismatched colors of webbing when I run across them. They are just so different from the average color of webbing and has an almost natural camo look.

They are just so different from the average color of webbing and has an almost natural camo look. This stuff has really increased in popularity through the years. Some of the shade mix-ups are so contrasting, they almost look like they'd stand out too much
'Flage Guy Posted November 20, 2010 #42 Posted November 20, 2010 Well, here we go again...can't believe I neglected to hang these babies up here in the last round... Bags, Ammunition, General Purpose:
'Flage Guy Posted November 20, 2010 #43 Posted November 20, 2010 A G.P. Ammo Bag and M6 Rocket Bag...
'Flage Guy Posted July 10, 2011 #44 Posted July 10, 2011 It's mix-up time again!! :w00t: A '45-dated Field Bag: Most of these late-model M1936 Suspenders in the pile have shoulder straps made from M1A1 Gas Mask Carrier straps; if you look closely, you can see where they were once folded over and sewn, with the tailors' layout markings still present.
'Flage Guy Posted July 10, 2011 #45 Posted July 10, 2011 Another '45, this one O.D. #7 with light straps and mixed-up Suspenders...
'Flage Guy Posted July 10, 2011 #46 Posted July 10, 2011 A Jungle/Field Pack, made by Meese, inc. in 1944...
'Flage Guy Posted July 10, 2011 #47 Posted July 10, 2011 Here is one of the most common "transitional" canvas gear of all, the late 1943 Rucksack with dark O.D. body and light O.D./tan webbing and binding. This one is stamped "Hinson Mfg. Co. 1943".
'Flage Guy Posted July 10, 2011 #48 Posted July 10, 2011 Here's a better shot of the weird Avery Rucksack showing the contrasting panels of canvas: This pack still carries the revised 1943 Rifle Hook on the lower right frame, which is nearly always gone from these packs.
17thairborne Posted February 15, 2012 #50 Posted February 15, 2012 I do love two-tone web gear! :thumbsup:
