captaincaveman Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Having looked at threads on this forum over and over I'm just confusing myself now. So can I please have some expert opinions on the validity of this being a genuine ww2 mag pouch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaincaveman Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi, Thanks, I'd read that and was confused as to whether that was a 'brand' that was copied for reproduction purposes or was just a made up name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 It is a made up name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Kinda like Bill Ricca's "FSCO" M1 carbine slings. He claimed it stood for Fake Sling Company... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaincaveman Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi, Thanks for the response, sorry for the slow reply but our internet has been off for 2 days almost and very nearly plunged us into the dark ages! I did see the pinned post and ascertained its validity, but as with anything I sought another pair of eyes! Thanks again and the pouch is on its way to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
