hirsca Posted January 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2015 Picked this up today. I could not find any markings as to who made it. Can someone please date it for me? Wrapping seems to be foil backed. Thanks, Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decontrol215 Posted January 25, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2015 It's the earlier foil wrapper so I'd say 67-68ish. Early 70s examples have plastic covers similar to MREs. These are neat items, getting hard to find too. I read some guys would pull these early wrappers apart after they finished the meal, fold it inside out (so the shiny side is exposed) and place the claymore clacker on top of it. Makes it easier to find in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polecat Posted January 27, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2015 I came across about 30 of the unused, never filled, packaging for this exact meal. Sold off most of them, but kept some. I'll dig them out and post pics so you can see the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
