Constabulary Posted August 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2014 Just have found these M-1956 Pouches with a nice early date. They came to me covered with a pound of dust & dirt. I soaked them in water for a few hrs and they turned out quite nice. One is 1957 dated and has a different eyelet in the tab the 1958 dated one is just like the ones you find with 1959/60/61 dates. The stamps are also a bit different. maybe they are still from the experimental period - I don't know. The stock or project number is (as far as I can read it): 8465-J-100002 I have one more but is is still soaked in water. I hope I have it cleaned and dried tomorrow.

mrrm Posted August 2, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 2, 2014 Nice. I owned hundreds of universal ammunition pouches/cases throughout the years, I've never come across one that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constabulary Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted August 3, 2014 I just figures that the 1957 dated pouch has not only a larger eyelet, it also has larger (line 24) snaps at the grenade straps and s narrower flap seam at the backside. Thee 1958 pouch (and later dated pouches) have a wider flap seam and smaller line 20 snaps. Pretty interesting details I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
