U.S.M.C. M1912 First Aid Pouch (WWI Pattern) This is the corps first Aid pouch design which again has a hang over from WWI the original design was based on that of the Army’s original canvas design, the first model has the M1910 U.S.M.C. Double Hook through the fabric and only reinforced by two eyelets, again although this model dates from WWI it was most certainly issued at the beginning of WWII. £10.00  U.S.M.C. M1912 First Aid Pouch (2nd Pattern) The second pattern model is almost identical except for the addition of a 2 inch Type III Class III webbing strap to hold the hold and thus reduce the load on such a small area off of the canvas. £10.00  U.S.M.C.M1912 First Aid Pouch (2nd Pattern Large Style) Finally we offer a large 2nd Pattern pouch as studies have shown that these varied quite a lot in exact style and design, probably down to when and whom produced that particular contract of pouches fro the marines, this models is about half an inch large and has a more curved flap and the Durable DOT’s set lower down the front of the pouch. £10.00  U.S.M.C. Water Canteen Cover (1st Pattern) This is a reproduction of the 1st pattern cover issued to the United states marine corps during WWII, these are a short flap, unlined cover, with a double stitched base, reinforced rear seam and specail U.S.M.C. version double hook. The 1st pattern cover was originally designed produced by the USMC Quatermasters, on behalf of the corps. This style of cover was introduce around about 1942, and replaced the U.S.M.C. version of M1910 cover. Please note: These covers are considerately smaller than there army cousins, and therefore a very tight fit, this is not a production fault by us its an original design flaw. (CANTEEN AND CUP ARE NOT INCLUDED) £15.00  U.S.M.C. Water Canteen Cover (2nd Pattern) This is a reproduction of the 2nd pattern cover issued to the United states marine corps during WWII, these are a short flap, unlined cover, with a double stitched base, reinforced rear seam and special U.S.M.C. version double hook. The 2nd pattern cover is identical to the 1st pattern except this model uses Lift the DOT snap closures instead of the Durable DOT's as these were government standard for canteen covers and are a much stronger fastener in a combat environment. Please note: These covers are considerately smaller than there army cousins, and therefore a very tight fit, this is not a production fault by us its an original design flaw. (CANTEEN AND CUP ARE NOT INCLUDED) £15.00  U.S.M.C. Water Canteen Cover (3nd Pattern) This is our reproduction of the first production WWII 3rd patter canteen cover, this model is often referred to as the "Cross Flap", the "Bunny Eared" or even "Dog Eared" model. This cover was again a design conceived by the USMC Quartermasters, as pert of the specialised equipment supplied and used by the Corp due WWII, this model as the distinctive long flaps which wrap around the neck of the M1910 Canteen to hold it securely inside the cover. Please not these are even smaller in size than the 1st and 2nd patterns and originals tend to have shrunk some what over the years, as a result I have spent quite a lot of time on this to get the correct "factory fit" and thus have your cup and canteen held firmly but not so tight that you have to fight with it to get the canteen out again. Please note These covers are even smaller in size than the 1st and 2nd patterns and therefore a very tight fit, this is not a production fault by us its an original design flaw. £15.00  U.S.M.C. Water Canteen Cover (4th Pattern) This is our reproduction of the first production WWII 4th patter canteen cover, this model is often referred to as the "Cross Flap", the "Bunny Eared" or even "Dog Eared" model, this model is identical in all but one respect this version has the "Drain Hole" canteen refill hole in the base of the cover. This cover was again a design conceived by the USMC Quartermasters, as pert of the specialised equipment supplied and used by the Corp due WWII, this model as the distinctive long flaps which wrap around the neck of the M1910 Canteen to hold it securely inside the cover. Please not these are even smaller in size than the 1st and 2nd patterns and originals tend to have shrunk some what over the years, as a result I have spent quite a lot of time on this to get the correct "factory fit" and thus have your cup and canteen held firmly but not so tight that you have to fight with it to get the canteen out again. Finally from a technical point of view this model is only really suitable for a very late WWII impression or that of the Korean War period. Please note: These covers are even smaller in size than the 1st and 2nd patterns and therefore a very tight fit, this is not a production fault by us its an original design flaw. £15.00 (Coming Soon)  Australian ContractThompson Pouch (Lease-Lend Contract 2nd Pattern) This is our Reproduction of the 5 x 20 Round Thompson pouch Australian lease lend contract 2nd Pattern, these were based on the Australian Army version used bythere home forces, however the U.S.M.C. version is made of canvas as opposed to webbing as the original Aussie issue model. There are two version of the pouch, and also they vary from one manufacturer to another the first model has durable DOT's the second model seen here has Lift the DOT's, gain there are very slight technical differences between the two patterns, height of flaps position of fasteners etc. £30.00 (*Special Order item 1-2 weeks delivery)  U.S.M.C. Colt-Carbine Combination Pouch (2nd Pattern) This again was a corps design which latter went of to become the standard pouch used by the Army Military Police ,and Navy Shore Patrol in all but a slightly modified style. Most of these pouches as much of the Marines gear were made byBoytalthough I have seen a few examples but S.F. Co.Inc Contract # 39061 Dated 1943 and all Tan/Khaki yellow and in now way at all GREEN. Our reproduction is the 2nd pattern pouch which is not different to the first in function its just made of canvas instead of webbing, and is more of a high bread design between the 2nd pattern M1 carbine pouch and the M1918 pattern colt pouch, this model also fits over the pistol belt as the colt pouch. Finally the cleaver part of this design is the four Bartack down at the base of the front section, this allows ether two 15Round M1 Carbine pouches to be carried or two 7 Round Colt M1911A1 magazines or a mixture of both. £12.00    M1943 Experimental Jungle Bladder Canteen Cover (1st pattern) This is a reproduction of the 1st pattern bladder canteen cover, this item was test and developed from 1943 onwards, as a possible replacement for the M1910 canteen in the Pacific theatre. The design was extensively trailed throughout 1943 by members of the Army and marines as per of the 1943 review and overhaul program which covered all aspects of U.S. Army combat equipment. The flexible canteen design went through a number of chances during its deployment, and are replica is base on the first production type, this cover did see some limited use during WWII and was latter issue during the early stages of the Vietnam conflict. Please note the cover has the correct stencilled markings as used on this item, it is also supplied with two attachment hooks one special “U” hook on the cover and one stand M1910 pattern double hook which is required to fit this canteen to your belt kit. Please note there are many slight differences in style and design, and thus we have opted for the most common version of the 1st pattern cover I.E. the eyelets face inwards to prevent damage top the bladder, and finally the centre Leg tie/ lanyard eyelet in set low in the cover in the binding.Yes this is an army but this item was also test by the marines and also used by them and others up into the Vietnam conflict. £18.50    U.S.M.C. Pattern Combat Suspenders (Standard "Y" Pattern) As used with the Corps pack system and 782 Gear, these have been made using original surplus hardware, and our O.D#9 Type III Class III webbing again these are the early colour scheme so ideal for most of WWII.   £16.00    M2 Jungle First Aid Kit Pouch (First Pattern*) Introduced after 1943 as part of the combat equipment review, this pouch contain an enlarge medical kit for use in the Far East and the pacific rim where the high humidity climate and Jungle conditions increased the danger of secondary infection as the result of a combat injury. The kit was issued to both Army and Marines troops serving in that theatre of conflict and this is why I’ve included our reproduction in both categories. Our Reproduction is based on the early style pouch* and thus is made of O.D#7 (Dark Olive) canvas with O.D#3 (Light Olive) Type III Class III 2 inch strap webbing and Type VIII Class I Edge binding and internal webbing. We’ve made our pouch in the first pattern style* as produced by Avery and Richard Green & Co which has a distinctive “V” stitch design down the front of the pouch where the machinist has sewn the internal webbings together, also having looked at period picture this style was issued to the U.S.M.C. Finally these were never made in O.D#9 Khaki or in an O.D#3 Light Olive colour scheme, most were all O.D#7 (Dark Olive) and the first few productions runs were in a part transitional colour scheme as per our reproduction. (*there are two pouch sizes the early models are slightly different dimensions to the latter production) £22.50
