5thrangerson Posted November 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2019 Picked this up recently and can't seem to find much info on them. This was made by Johansen but I can't quite make out if the date is '44 or '45 since it is in the seam. Is there any photographic evidence of these being used in WW2?

Costa Posted November 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 13, 2019 I believe these came out in 45 post war. I may be wrong but, sure they did not see action in ww2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIKyle Posted November 13, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 13, 2019 I seem to remember photographic evidence of their use in Varsity, but cannot locate the photograph at this time. As costa mentioned, very late war and most are dated 45 and beyond up until 1950-51. Yours with the lighter straps stands a chance to be on the earlier side but cannot see a date on there.

THAT GUY Posted January 2, 2023 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2023 I picked one up dated 1944 at a surplus store in 2011. I wish I still had the photos on hand. It looked very similar to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
