Could be rigger done airborne but I am not sure. Airborne really isn't my field of focus.

Thanks SteveR.
My thoughts were the same, its a mid war (?) liner with late/postwar rigger attachments.

There are plenty of threads on these Liners over at USMF and most are of the opinion that these were infact factory refits for the jump into Japan that obviously never happened,they were taken from un-issued existing Infantry stocks,this practice continued upto around 1950,these are going up in value and have much become a sort after item,the whole thing about "Rigger" just because the A frames were set seperately from webbing just isn't the case at all,with new info coming all the time,collectors really need to re-address there way of thinking regarding these liners.............

I wish i could find jumbles like yours here in the UK,, are you sure it isnt a small caliber bullet hole, if so i would leave as is,, if its a restoration you want to do i have done one and really enjoyed doing it,, there is a thread in the m1 section.

A fixed loop really would not get paired with a rigger liner. A rear seam M1C would be more appropriate.
