Costa Posted September 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2020 caught this one off ebay today. the only time that i know of burlap was used on pots was in the Korean war and cold war with our troops in Germany. pot is a fixed bail. liner appears to have od7 webbing with a dome stamp of capac 52.

MattS Posted September 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2020 As a FB I think we can assume it's a FS too, nice catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rooster Posted September 17, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 17, 2020 Pretty Cool ! Is that the one where the seller said the liner is stuck in the shell and he would not pull it apart ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not, seams moved late in 1943 just after the transition to swivels (as I understand it) so there are occasionally some swivel bail front seams during the changeover, but can't say I've ever seen a fixed bail rear seam.
