Ludwig,   Good points that I hadn't considered, I was focused on ID'ing the box itself.  Cerick, while there are no pictures of the markings in Dorsey's book here are what you would want to look for on the box.  Again, credit Dorsey.     OD

I’ve been collecting military field gear and edge weapons since I was in the national guard in the early 80’s. As I’m selling various items from my collection at shows,on  the forum, eBay, etc.    Currently I came across another Vietnam era Logan/Smyth MC1 paratrooper knife that I listed here earlier this afternoon.    I don’t want to admit this but I wouldn’t be surprised if I came across another MC1,  by Camille’s, Schrade/Walden and Logan/Smyth.      

There is definately crazing and flaking to the leather.  It is very stiff.  Not sure about the contents..

Here are side pictures of the eagle first and US emblem second.  

It looks like a re-enactor's / skirmishers set to me. a couple years of campaigning will make them look like this. Originals will usually have some crazing and flaking to the outer surface as well makers mark and inspectors' marks. Better reproductions will even exhibit correct period markings so that is not a definitive characteristic. Keep in mind large scale re-enacting has been going on since the 1960's, which would make a set dating from this time almost 60 years old. I sold my original set years ago. I have a reproduction set for living history events and it dates to the 1980's and it looks about like this. Just my opinion. 

I will try to take a picture.  Yes, I do believe someone used cleaner on them.

You are welcome, my pleasure.   I have only handled a couple of these over the years.  And haven't seen one in a while.  They look OK to me but might have been cleaned at one point not too long ago.  Do they appear "thick" in depth?  It's hard to gauge that in the pictures.     OD  

Thank you.  Do the plates on the pouch look original?

Was at the trift store were I saw the belt before and this time took a picture. So does anyone know if it's military or not?
