milsurp_scout_14 Posted February 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2018 I picked this up today at a local antique mall. It appears to be USMC due to the style of hook. It's in the early shade of canvas. It seems extremely fresh, and didn't have the 'old canvas' smell to it that most old gear does. It has no markings anywhere, hardware has no wear to it--but after a search of common reproductions, it doesn't look like any of those. Could this be an un-issued original, perhaps depot made, that the markings wore off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntssurplus Posted February 19, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 19, 2018 If you have a camera with night vision then you could look to see if there are any markings that have worn off.Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 24, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 24, 2018 Don't believe these had markings on them, never seen a marked one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt40 Posted February 25, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 25, 2018 Good to know.I picked one up a month or so ago and never really thought about it but it is identical to yours except for some oddball febreeze smell to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milsurp_scout_14 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted March 15, 2018 Well, that's good news then. Don't have a camera with night vision, although I should probably get one for this very reason. This is my first item with a 'Marine' hook.

Flashlarue Posted March 15, 2018 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2018 Looks very much like one I saw yesterday except it was a three grenade holder and it was dated 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
