Nice 1941 casing most likely intended to fire an M71 HE projectile. 

That is a good attitude. Everyone is still learning.

Barry, I believe that your first patch posted is, according to Mark Bando, a Type 14.  Scroll part way down the page on this link to see Mr. Bando's great information. https://www.101airborneww2.com/eaglepatchcorner2.html   (Credit:  Mark Bando - Eagle Patch Corner website)

Just for the record, I don’t know anything about these things but I am always interested in learning about something new.  mikie

Ok I’ll put more photos up later 

USMF Topic -->> VB Rifle Grenade Launcher

Hi. I'm new to the forum and exploring when I came across this interesting series of posts. I picked up several years ago an SRU32/P Vest I'd like to share. It appears unused and was wondering if they were actually ever issued in SEA. Any info to share?  Cheers 

GOOD AFTERNOON JUST FOUND YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS ABOUT STARTING TO COLLECT FLASHES AND OVALS. FOR YOUR INFO I HAVE JUST TOOK PICS OF MY DOUBLES I'M SELLING. I HAVE 6 BUNDLES OF 20 F & O'S FOR $25.00 EACH. IF INTERESTED PLEASE CALL ME @  727 698 7721  OR  E-MAIL @  AHRICHMONDJR@YAHOO.COM THANKS  A H R 6- 17- 2025

As stated, the one on the left is a post-WW1 carrier for the VB grenade launcher, Army or USMC. It replaced the French wartime pouch that was made of leather. The other is a bolt pouch for the bolt of a rifle when replaced with the Pederson Device. I suppose a pair of wire cutters would fit, but that is not the intended use for the pouch. It's missing a snap hook from the reverse.

Also, is anyone even Intersted in this? Haven’t gotten one reply sadly. I know it happens, but I was hoping this would garner more attention? Maybe people are just waiting for me to finish?  Jsut hope this can possibly be used as resource in the future. If it turns out okay.
