Justin Posted November 27, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2008 They look just like WWII suspenders to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguoi tien su Posted November 27, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 27, 2008 Looks WWII, but it is what the USMC used in VN. You can find loads of suspenders 1968 dated, green color, but IMO they have not been issued. BTW those are really nice ! NTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted November 27, 2008 Share #5 Posted November 27, 2008 If you are looking for Vietnam suspenders. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=370082768862 Justin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted November 28, 2008 thanks, they do look a lot like the ones used in Vietnam because the coloration looks like the type used in korea & vietnam early WWII are usually more tan in color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguoi tien su Posted November 28, 2008 Share #7 Posted November 28, 2008 The one you show on the post #1 are perfect for VN. The green one not. The WWII "tan" model is the most specific in 1965. See the real difference in the colors on the 1st Marine. Justin won't say it's green, will he? or this last photo with a mixture of darker tan and light tan, but no green.

craig_pickrall Posted November 28, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 28, 2008 I have the USMC M41 Haversack with a 1967 date in OD107. The matching suspenders are dated 1968. I also have the M41 made in nylon that is dated 1968. I don't think you will see any photos of that gear in use until probably 1968. All of the 1965 pics would be the WW2 or KW gear being used up.

Justin Posted November 28, 2008 Share #9 Posted November 28, 2008 See the real difference in the colors on the 1st Marine. Justin won't say it's green, will he? No, Har Har, But I will say my GREEN 1st aid pouches are green when they clearly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Robinson Posted November 28, 2008 Share #10 Posted November 28, 2008 I have the USMC M41 Haversack with a 1967 date in OD107. The matching suspenders are dated 1968.

NO WAY!!!!!!!! Some supply SGT, in the interest of historical correctness, would have REFUSED to issue 782 gear in WW2/Korean War color shades. Why those Marines would have been laughed at by the NVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
