Pbaczuk Posted April 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2020 Were t handle covers with this lower mount specifically for mountain packs? I have two of these, the other made by Geib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted April 5, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 5, 2020 Yes, so they could be worn on the mountain rucksack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbaczuk Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted April 5, 2020 Cool Robin. Thanks. I may see if I can trade for a normal one and keep one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron bender Posted April 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 6, 2020 This is out of Stanton's US Army Uniforms of WWII. Pretty sure the cover was initially developed for the mountain ruck, but found use elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more costly only if the seller knows what they are! Even at that, they are pretty reasonable. The Marines received some of these as well! Below, at New Caledonia...

daskrieg Posted December 24, 2020 Share #11 Posted December 24, 2020 What do they usually sell for? I found one but the seller is asking around $86 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't shopped for one in at least 20 years, but I know they haven't gotten any cheaper or- more importantly- less scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
