I've bought from their eBay before, great stuff and interesting video

[@historicmilitaria1944]

They tend to get some interesting stuff in quantity..which keeps the retail price down.

Hi CJ, thanks for sharing and talking about it's purpose.

[@historicmilitaria1944]

No prob

[@Blitz1944]

Funny enough I bought a whole box of these years ago and sold them on eBay, the ones I had were dated January 1944.

[@historicmilitaria1944]

I think the green bags can be found dated 43 to 45

[@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941]

Nice that's the same seller i got my one from. Some info i didn't know about the bag.

[@historicmilitaria1944]

It's an interesting item ,wouldn't mind the pistol and machine gun types,but they are harder to find

[@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941]

@historicmilitaria1944 yeah same here ive never seen them for sale

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Good description of an often overlooked item...id never really thought about it. In 'saving private ryan' the bags were clear werent they?....i can imagine the process being unpleasant. Yeh ive bought stuff from him...i got my mk3 after you tipped me off...cheers CJ m8😊😊😊😊

[@historicmilitaria1944]

Yep,in private ryan the bags were indeed clear,but contemporary black n white pics do show some bags a darker shade....speaking about private ryan theres something missing from the assault scene....none of the soldiers are wearing m26 life belts!!!..which will be the subject of a video uploaded later.
