Panzerfaust Posted July 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2022 I picked up some canvas covers for vehicles or jeep that are unknown to me. Any help would be appreciated! Regards, Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted July 27, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 27, 2022 Hi, The first example is a windshield cover, it looks like a jeep one. I do not recognize the other two canvas panels. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have my examples to hand but the side measurements are what determine the sizes. From memory the early windshield cover for the Willy's ' Slat-Grille ' which has a shorter windshield frame is about 21 inches and the later models the side measurement is about 23 inches. Having said that, the later one is more saleable as there are far more surviving later Jeeps than early Jeeps. regards lewis. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew . Hi Drew, Rusty is right about the rest as well, I do not recognise those . . . . . . . . . . The bags or sacks look as if they are either field mods, repaired pieces or such, the original stitching has been chopped and the new stitching is not factory quality or grade. The last two items could be Breech covers or something like that, never seen any before. regards lewis. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
