collector Posted October 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 15, 2021 Looking through one of my father's cruise books from 1957. 8th Marines. Spotted this and am interested in any other shots of examples of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keystone Posted October 16, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 16, 2021 It looks like it might be the experimental load bearing vest tested by the Marines in that time frame. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collector Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted October 16, 2021 Now they know for sure that the Marines were trying out new vests. The vest at the end of the thread you referenced shows another from the same book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
