looks to be be a WW2 1st pattern cover with post war EGA stamp the liner is WW2 but looks to be unused is the shell fixed loop or swivel loop ?

[FABRY]

Hello nick thanks for the reply, it has fixed hooks, another question might be what this seam ?

[NickD]

looks like its been torn at some point & the resewn to repair it ?

[FABRY]

I thought that, even if the seam seems to be made at the factory .... very strange.

[NickD]

also the EGA stamp is not like ive seen before it looks to very detailed compared to the one on mine

My cover probably was used in vietnam , the shell comes instead from belgium, the liner I do not know , I have assembled all.

The liner looks to be an unused example from WW2. Check the crown for the mold mark to verify the manufacturer. I believe the cover is a very good reproduction.

From what deductible is a reproduction?
