korea drab Posted February 21, 2012 Share #38 Posted February 21, 2012 Also found this pile cap labeled as M-51! According to Craig(I ask his expert opinion and he said a legit item)this manufacturer has many contracts with the DOD.So as all items encountered so far are all designated as "M-1951" this called my attention.Must be an manufacturer error!

cefiler Posted December 10, 2013 Share #46 Posted December 10, 2013 I have heard, through word of mouth, that the white pile ones were for officers - but I've never seen any evidence of that anywhere. It just seems to be a persistent rumor. Ted Filer LTC (USA, Retired) Link to post Share on other sites
