i have the option on a m42 squad tent with two doors but build by and for the greek army.

accoring to seller it is mil spec us, but he mentions a third vertical pole the greek army has added to design.

 

anyone who knows how much those greek m42 squads are still mill spec usa?

how did the greek mark their tents ( is it marked on the outside in plain side or is it , like the us tents a patch on the inside and stocknumber outside)?

 

grtz

Yoeri,

 

Are these being sold by Peter Kniest of Westland Military Antiques? It might be worth asking him for a photograph of the item.

 

Regards,

Ben.

Private seller, he has just one.

Did take a look at peter's site.

On the photo's it isn't visible if there are any markings

according to seller there aren't any markings on the outside , just as with the us made tents a label inside.

 

i'm going over there coming friday and see if it really looks like a us made one.

only thing , it has three center poles where the us manual only mentions two.

 

maybe an add-on from greece.

found photo's of when standing and it isn't at all milspec.

 

the sides are to high and the roof to flat.
