MattOravik Posted January 26, 2010 #1 Posted January 26, 2010 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. -Matt.
subsystem4 Posted January 26, 2010 #2 Posted January 26, 2010 Not sure how rare they are but i have one or two and i think they are marked avery 1944 just like in the book. Thats a nice little book by the way.

MattOravik Posted January 27, 2010 Author #5 Posted January 27, 2010 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. -Matt.
anelles Posted January 27, 2010 #6 Posted January 27, 2010 I never would have thought nylon edging was around in 1944
hotlead Posted January 27, 2010 #7 Posted January 27, 2010 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:
MikeL Posted January 28, 2010 #8 Posted January 28, 2010 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.
tweedie Posted January 28, 2010 #9 Posted January 28, 2010 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.
285th FAOB Posted January 31, 2010 #10 Posted January 31, 2010 Question. Is the thread attaching the nylon edging cotton or nylon? Thanks
kphfun Posted January 31, 2010 #11 Posted January 31, 2010 Question. Is the thread attaching the nylon edging cotton or nylon? Thanks My pouches are cotton..
tweedie Posted March 20, 2010 #12 Posted March 20, 2010 Question. Is the thread attaching the nylon edging cotton or nylon? Thanks The stitching yarn of the nylon edging is cotton on my carbine pouches and musette bag.
svt40 Posted March 20, 2010 #13 Posted March 20, 2010 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.
THAT GUY Posted March 20, 2010 #14 Posted March 20, 2010 Could this be 1960 manufacturers aquired unfinshed WW2 canvas gear and put new nylon on to finish them??? Sam
kphfun Posted March 20, 2010 #15 Posted March 20, 2010 Could this be 1960 manufacturers aquired unfinshed WW2 canvas gear and put new nylon on to finish them??? Sam No. They were made this way in 1944..
THAT GUY Posted March 24, 2010 #16 Posted March 24, 2010 No. They were made this way in 1944.. That's extremely weird.
