Size stamp on webbing?

[Swehelm]

Came across a m1 liner for sale. Seller says the only stamps/markings he found is the word "SMALL" stamped in red ink on what looks like the inside of the nape strap. Is this common? Never seen this before, the webbing is the old khaki color.

Yes it's common ww2 OD3 napes were marked either S/M/L or size 1 through to 5.

Thank you very much for the answer!

I have only seen black stamps in combination with other stamps before, so this was new to me

I have one with LARGE stamped in black ink. I'll post a photo later when i get to it. Could be fun to compare measurement between a large and small, to see what the actual difference is.

I don't know but I can whack in this one "size 3" for a comparison.

Here is mine. Its Gray not green and comes from a Danish civil defence liner, but is part of the great number of spare part brought by Denmark in December 1949.
