Pouch Identification


Old Sarge

Recommended Posts

I found this picture of my Grandfather (He is the soldier in the middle) in a group of old pictures, hanging on the wall of his old National Guard Armory. I was trying to figure out what the pouch is on the right side of his cartridge belt. You can make out one side of it. The Master Sergeant is wearing one like it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. MSG

Stumbled into this post so thought to add something to it. Found the pictured pouch at my swap meet some time ago. It is of dark green webbing and is marked on the reverse side:

COMPASS, MAGNETIC, LENSTATIC

FSN (+ hard to discern numbers)

MIL 0?0??OD 8 DEC 1952 (maybe 1962)

UNION INSTRUMENTS CORP.

DA-11-1?? (+ 8-10 more numbers I can't discern)

 

A circular/rectangular impression on the reverse seems to indicate a lenstatic pattern was carried in it for a time.
