Paul marsden Posted April 5, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2021 I've got these ammo pouches 1956 ammo pouches and the straps have been removed and was told that this is common in Vietnam so the troops didn't have to wear the suspenders ans the straps didn't get in the way??????

milsurp_scout_14 Posted April 11, 2021 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2021 I've bought/ sold hundreds of these, and I'd say about half of them had missing vertical straps. They were fairly un-necessary, so it's not surprising a lot of guys cut them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul marsden Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted April 11, 2021 Ok thanks for clearing that up they do look a well used pair. 1st pair in the uk that I've seen this done on. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted April 11, 2021 Share #4 Posted April 11, 2021 Lots of evidence to support that these straps were cut off, sometimes but less common the grenade straps are also cut off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
