M40scoutsniper Posted September 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 A gentleman from the board actually reached out to me about it just yesterday. I really like the belt, but it deserves to be next to a Monitor haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyardslug Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Ok here is an odd one... I have an Instagram page called Cosmoline & Canvas. Another collector called The History Hoarder, that posts regularly uploaded photos of this pouch. These are the only 3 photos of it before someone bought it from him. There is a screenshot of the description he had along with the pouch. Have you guys seen these before? Very neat lil pouch. I would ask History Hoarder to provide the source he is siting from those manuals. I've never run across this idea (and I have a lot of manuals and a LOT of interwar BAR photos). I'd also add I have a single pouch that looks identical to the one posted in my collection (minus the small tab). It was made circa 2005 by a friend of mine who does Airborne re-enacting and would make them out of damaged belt halves. He never represented them as anything other than what they were, but you know how the story grows as an item gets passed from hand to hand. Caveat emptor, and a wise man once told me 'Buy the item, not the story' George PS; excellent find on the Monitor belt Edited September 24, 2021 by Junkyardslug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
