So would this be more post-korea, pre-vietnam? I'm just getting into collecting US militaria so have much to learn haha
Thank you for the info!
M56 buttpack indeed, used mainly in Vietnam but examples still turned up in Desert Storm. M56/Vietnam items are getting more popular to collect recently, so nice find!
I dunno...somethings are a bit odd on this. The straps look a lot wider than normal, the US stamp is different, you don't see this serrifed font on M-56 gear and the webbing strip around the pack look very thin?
No stamp on the inside of the lid?
