milsurp_scout_14 Posted September 2, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2018 Others may have something more definitive--but the earliest I've encountered (on any piece of the gear), is the compass/bandage pouch. One I have is dated sometime in 1957. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
