usaaf93 Posted September 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2016 Hello Here is my new find. A 1st pattern compass pouch. It was listed about 20 seconds before I hit the bin button for $30 so I am pretty confident it is an original one. It is on the way home. The zipper works according to the seller. Do you know if these were used by 82nd paratrooper in the MTO ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
