Swedish K pictures of use in the field by military


Recommended Posts

The pictures from Vietnam are interesting to me that shows leather slings. I would have assumed they would have used cavnvas. Also if you look at this picture it sure looks like the gun has the extra lug on the rear cap. I think its a Vietnam picture but not sure.

Mongo, first of all great pics. Some I have never seen before. Second, I have had a long interest in SOG and the Vietnam War. The majority of Swedish K photos of the war that I’ve seen, have the leather sling and j hook reinforced end cap. Every K that I seen in these pictures have had the mag well riveted. Most are green, some Parkerized, many because of their age (photos) you can’t tell the color. Some soldiers are carrying the leather Swedish 8 cell mag pouch, while many are carrying the green canvas MAT49 5 cell mag pouch.

If it requires a a stamp, i am not sure it would stick to the form 4 because I am sure the wrong side of the stamp would get licked.

Is that a vintage steel zipper or the new plastic one?
