10 years ago I picked this up and posted it on W-A. I was told it was USAAF issue, but not much more. I then asked if anyone could provide a period photo of this being worn. For 10 years I had nothing! Until I looked at some ones post on USMF. This wasn't even the topic of that post.  This is the link   

Good grief!!!!! And they are not even Army!!! They are Marines!!!!

Custom grips were sporadic but it did happen. Here is a couple images that I found of some customizing. I know have others with plexiglass too, I'll post them when I run across them.
