Estate sale find today. Would this be correctly identified as a M-1910 Diagnostic Pouch? Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas.

 

It's actually Pouch, Diagnosis Tag. It contained paper tags on which a medic could write info (a diagnosis) about the wounds/injuries sustained and attach it to the soldier.

Thanks B229. Pouch, Diagnosis Tag it is--and now correctly ID'd in my collection. Thanks again, Al.

these aren't strictly speaking 1910-1918 but they are m1910 first aid pouches.

They are from the last production run of the m1910 first aid pouches at J.Q.M.D. (Jefferson Quarter Master Depot) in 1942.

I haven't seen many examples of these so as far as I can tell there weren't many made.

 

anyway here's some pics:

As far as I know it's not so common but not even rare. All of them I saw are dated 1942 and my idea is they was ordered in the hurry after Pearl Harbour.
