Who makes SWI?

[svt40]

I picked up some cheapo M1936 suspenders for a friend who is getting interested in the MV hobby. I ordered what I thought was SWI but ended up getting US Spec marked suspenders.

 

I've seen SWI before and it was ok quality from what I remember but the US Spec stuff is garbage. I would not have bought it if I had known it was not what was shown in the add. Before I return it I wanted to know who marks their stuff SWI.

Schreck Wholesale Industries... Although I only know M1942 machetes marked as such. No idea if they have webbing.

Thats the maker Im familiar with as they had the machetes mentioned.

 

Originals can be sourced for $45 or less.

I have quite a few originals but I am not keen on just giving them away to a friend getting into military vehicles. Hence the cheap repops. No sense dragging originals around in the mud strapped to the back of a jeep.

Just picked up a set for $18 plus shipping.Real 42 date and real nice.

Have had some used ones I have graded out too that had repairs.

 

Very true about using originals that way.But for static display or impressions real can be found.

 

There are a few sellers on line.One is called Man the Line? Not sure who makes his stuff but most all seem to have a China connection. One seller from Rapid City SD sells on ebay as well.

 

Good luck in your hunt.Something will turn up.
