Countryboy77 Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 This case is on ebay and the seller said somone told him its absolutely british.Is there anyone here who can verify? He says the buyer can return it if they find out its a fake but thats not good enough. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234538731004?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11051.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=b93bbdac1bf749f58e01b3e0521253ca&bu=44171985547&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20220514101747&segname=11051&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Mills Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I saw that one too. There were some unmarked Rusco cases originally, but nowadays the bad guys can leave a fake out in the rain for realistic appearance too. Id approach that one mit caution. Sorry Im not more help. I had 3 but all were Rusco marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I feel this is a recent repro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryboy77 Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 The originals i saw had 4 tabs on tge snaps not 3 and were stamped slightly different. They were unmarked but the stiching inside on the reinforcements and the material looked a bit heavier.But i only saw 2 examples from the same guy at the military show and havent seen enough to tell for sure.

full auto 45 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 It looks just like the repro case I have, that was made in India many years back. Even down to the two tone in the materials. I paid $25 for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk VII Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I don't think Britain ever procured these, and there seems to have been no US WW2 procurement so not reverse lend-Lease either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
