This pouch with nylon edge is in my book 'American web equipment 1910-1967' by Martin Brayley, and was wondering just how rare this pouch is? The one pictured in the book is made by Avery 1944 and is the belt version of the pouch. I didn't see one on here in the reference section.

I was wondering cause I was watching one on ebay but wasn't around to bid. It sold for 9.99. It didn't mention the nylon but I could see in the pic that it was shiny like nylon.

I never would have thought nylon edging was around in 1944

Me neither, I would've passed them up for fakes, you learn something new everyday!!! :thumbsup:

Same here. I always thought the nylon trim was "transitional" or pre-LINCLOE before the entire piece, body and trim, went nylon. Mid to late '60s are the dates I see on most of the stuff with nylon trim on a cotton body-mainly canteen covers. Thanks for showing these.

Hi,

I've got a 1944 dated musette bag with such a trim (for the bag itself, the flap has a cotton trim).

Already seen a 1945 dated M43 entrenching tool cover with nylon trim.

The stitching yarn of the nylon edging is cotton on my carbine pouches and musette bag.

I also came across an OD#7 M1928 meatcan pouch with nylon edging that was dated 1944. I would have bought it but he wanted $25 for it so I passed.

Could this be 1960 manufacturers aquired unfinshed WW2 canvas gear and put new nylon on to finish them???
