USMC folding saw?

[Flightpath]

Hi,

 

I unfortunately left my SRT folding saw in my last car when I sold it and have been meaning to get another, I came across this SRT saw on Ebay with two spare blades and a leather pouch. I made an offer of only $20 and it was accepted (happy with that!).

 

The pouch looks very solid and well made, it has a military wire hanger on it and an EGA embossed into the leather.

 

Do you think that this would this have been an issued item, a small unit requisition sort of thing? (whatever it's called).

 

cheers, John

Hmm..not sure, but i can say that the EGA was added after it was finished, I do leatherwork, and looks like someone bounced their stamp, resulting in a double image, as finished leather is way harder to stamp nicely..and maybe added the hanger at that time?
