Gavin D. Posted May 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2016 Hi all, any help in identifying these two pieces of WWII gear would be most appreciated. The first is marked US Champion canvas supplies 1943. The other piece doesn't have any markings. Link to post Share on other sites

doyler Posted May 10, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 10, 2016 The suspenders are more likely dated 1945.Look original to me and were the type used with the late war M44/45 pack sets. Not really sure what the other item is unless its a drag chute of some type made of canvas.

Gavin D. Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted May 10, 2016 Doyler you are right. I looked at the suspenders more closely and they are dated 1945. Link to post Share on other sites
gunbunnyB/3/75FA Posted May 10, 2016 Share #6 Posted May 10, 2016 that canvas bag kind of looks like a four pocket diddy bag. Link to post Share on other sites
