Help me move out and purchase this item from me...WWII pattern US Army infantryman's webgear set. This LBE (load bearing equipment) is typical for the gear worn by all US infantry and glider troops throughout the War. All items are top quality reproductions or original in good, serviceable condition. Purchased from atthefront, used once and i no longer have an interest in this item. All reproduction items (except the shovel and first aid pouch) are made in the USA . All gear is made with 100% cotton canvas and webbing, professionally finished in Olive Drab #3, sewn with cotton-wrapped thread, and fitted with NOS or new production hardware made by the original manufacturers. (Scovil, Stimpson and Anchor.) All markings are professionally stencilled and heat cured.Haversacks: The haversacks are original WWII issue. Some are M1910 and some are M1928 models. All are serviceable, but color (all are a shade of "khaki") and markings will vary. All haversacks include the "meat can" pouch, but we do not have the pack tails (AKA "diapers"). These are in no way related to nor vaguely similar to the chintzy gear from Hong Kong. 90% of the Chinese gear is made with thinner, loosely woven fabrics and lightweight hardware that will not hold up. I know this personally. I have samples of the imported gear and we have experimented with it. It's awful. read more
