Rene my friend I think it is about time we staged an intervention!

Nice pick ups and quite odd to see the inspectors stamps on the front or basic pouches, care factor must have been about 0% that day! haha

got a question about pattern 37 webbing , have you seen or heard of any cases of 37 webbing belt/holster being used during the Vietnam war period ?

Cheers .

To illustrate what I mean by materials at hand, here are three GMH examples that are surely from the same production batch with different closure widths

Yes René, it does appear to be more of a manufacturing variation than a change in pattern, since those pouches appear to be from the same production run!

Hi Australia,

I'm afraid I don't know very much about postwar webbing, so I don't want to mislead you. This is the best reference that I have found...

Hope this helps!

Have to be honest Luke Mate I actually found another 8 more GMH & RMB pouches from the same production lots

The Wife has now forced me to say this! - "I'm Out Of Control And Need The Suggested Intervention"!!
Shame I didn't find these earlier! I see after closer observation I've noticed a couple have tie marks, these where tied together as a factory bolt! I wonder how many to a bolt?

Better send a couple of sets to me then, don't want the wife getting upset!

From what I've seen in pictures only the large pack and pouches where used, what I say is not gospel though! Pretty sure revolver pistols where not issued?
