Fausto Posted May 4, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2010 Hello! Got this couple of mint M1923 .45 Magazine Pouches. In 40 years of collecting such things (and others...) this is the very first time I see this maker: V.B. CO. I just knew that there are M1936 suspenders made by this firm during WWII, but this is the best of my knowledge. I would appreciate a lot if someone could tell what firm is behind this markings. Thanks a lot !! Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted February 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 7, 2011 I can't answer your question, but I have one also. Al Hirschler in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.R.gunner Posted February 7, 2011 Share #3 Posted February 7, 2011 Looks like VB co checks out, go to the web gear section on the left side of this site, and scroll down to the .45 pouches, they are listed in the manufacturer section. http://wing.chez-alice.fr/ETO_Militaria.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted February 7, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 7, 2011 Could this be an abbreviated stamp for "Varied", like "S.F. Co." is for "S. Froelich"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fausto Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks for the link! I have found it very helpful for my own stuff! Thanks to you all ! Yes, that's a fine link with a lot of informations, but unfortunately it doesn't explain which manufacturers are behind some letters... I think that many of these firms will be never discovered as most of them are no more in business... I'm still fighting with the F.S.F. marked .45 magazine pouches of WWI. No one seems, up today, able to explain who was F.S.F. ...Too bad, because this is the last still "hidden" manufacturer of these WWI pouches...
