[James C]

heres my M18/40 with the early full ring liner as used on the M18 and also has the round white disc with the soldier's name

"MAAG HEINZ"

hi BG sorry but i should of asked before but your cover looks different to mine not in camo pattern but in yours having the spring hooks as a method of attachment to the rim ,mine is just elasticated so id be interested to learn more on which came first ,i do have this spring clip type fitted to my latter m71 if that gives any clues ,is yours reversable ?

[battle gear]

James C, Yes my Swiss camo cover with metal clips is also reversable to summer green camo

I am not sure which type came out first? I read that the Swiss also manufactured covers for the Germans

thanks for the confirmation BG and interesting to learn of the german connection
