NEW items in the works

[1886lebel]

There are a few new items in the works bieng reproduced at this time ....

1. Couverture (Blanket): These are bieng copied from original pattern blankets which will feature original numbers and wording in the chain stitching in yellow which will probably be dated 1914 or 1915 to cover as much time as possible.

2. Gamelle Individuelle Modèle 1852 (Individual Mess Tin Model 1852): These will be made by acwknapsacks in South Carolina, they will feature the bowl, dish, lid, chain and handle. They should start coming in around the middle of March.

3. Havresac Modèle 1893 (Backpack Model 1893): These will be made by acwknapsacks in South Carolina as well, these will be the early type packs made in black.

There is going to be other items down the road as well ... stay tuned for those.

Thanks - those black packs look rather nice:

Do you know of anyone who makes the Tampon P2 with associated goggles, pouch &c.?

The one you posted is the ACW period time frame, not WWI

At this time I do not know of anyone making the earlier pattern gas masks.

They look close enough to the model 1893 to give an indication of the quality and general appearance of the forthcoming items. It is clear that the side straps are different (and perhaps other stuff I've not noticed), though.

Thanks - that's what I feared.
