John in IN Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 This was in with the box of accessories that came with my British Savage 28A1. Just trying to get an idea of the value for a sale or trade. It seems to be in really nice shape: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-6/746244/TSMG_canvascover01.JPG Here's a close up: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-6/746244/TSMG_canvascover02.JPG Here's the part number/info tag still wire tied to the zipper pull: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-6/746244/TSMG_canvascover03.JPG Here's the tag sewn inside of it: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-6/746244/TSMG_canvascover04.JPG All of the snaps on it are female, so what the heck did these snap to?? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif Thanks for any info! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/hail.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faabala Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 They snapped to brackets in the Halftrack. They are considered vehicle equipment and were never meant to be issued with the weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostsoldier Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thanks faabala...you answered my question. I thought they might have been issued for individual use, similiar to M1 Garand bags. Oh well...I guess I'll have to find something else to haul my M1A1 around in!

Z3BigDaddy Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Here is the page from Franks's book showing the case in use. But this photo does not show the snaps in use.... It would be nice to see a picture of it actually in place the way it was designed to be used. I would urge anyone with Thompson interest to buy Frank's current book American Thunder II available from machinegunbooks.com. http://mail.roadfly.com/z3bigdaddy/IMG_0075.JPG ©2000 Frank Iannamico, American Thunder, Photo Courtesy Dan Chinchar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
