pararaftanr2 Posted February 11, 2022 Share #79 Posted February 11, 2022 A great thread. Thanks to Dustin and all those who have contributed. In the photo above, the Marine appears to have an M2 jungle first aid kit with light OD piping. I have a similar example that is dated 1943. See image below. How rare, or common, an item is this?

I was just looking at the 1910 shovel cover on the soldier on the right it appears to still have the little yellow cardboard cutters tag on it as many of the unissued post war surplus covers had. regards lewis. ..

Hello Dustin, fantastic photo featuring a rare Carbine canvas waist belt holster in use, these are shown in an artillery manual for soldiers to wear freeing their two hands for carrying and loading shells into artillery pieces. regards lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
