Here are some pictures:
The leather box is a "Case, Accessory and Spare Parts, M1918." These were used for Thompsons, and other weapons. References to this box can be found in Tracie Hill's Thompson book on page 357, and Frank Iannamico's second Thompson book on page 375. I also found reference to the exact name of the box in SNL A-32, dated 2/28/1942. It is government piece mark number or drawing number 15-18-98. This item is marked "E.K. 1943."
The drawstring canvas bag is a spare parts bag for the M1 Thompson. A reference to it can be found in Tracie's book on page 357. It measures 5 3/8" x 9 1/8".
The lighter colored small parts pouch is government piece mark number or drawing number 15-18-102, and is known as "Envelope, Fabric, One-Button, 3 x 3 1/8". This piece is referenced on page 441 of Frank Iannamico's second Thompson book, and is also referenced in SNL A-32 dated 2/28/1942. As can be seen in one of the photos, this item was stamped on the back after being mildew resistance treated in December 1956.
The darker, one button pouch is not referenced anywhere that I can find. I have been told it is a later version of the lighter colored "envelope" pouch, and it is just slightly larger in size.
The 3 canvas items appear unissued, and the leather box has some slight degradation of the leather surface on part of the top of the box, and the part of the leather fastener that extends through the brass ring is hardened and thin, but still intact and useable.
I will sell these as a set for $100 shipped first class in the U.S. Texas residents must add 8.25% sales tax. I accept PayPal, money orders, and personal checks from members on this board.
Thanks!
