Thanks, Dan. I was playing catch-up on this thread and it wasn't making sense to me.

Very nice set ! Nice original pieces

Did they have a green canvas pouch for the TE - 33 tool kit ? It seems they had one that “ hung “on the web gear belt .

They did have a green one. It is canvas but it is impregnated with something. Its very hard like fiberglass. I believe it is VN era. I’ll get a picture of mine tomorrow.

Thank you Sir . That’s the one . Had heard they had better luck we these not rotting in a damp environment like the leather did .
Have a good weekend out there .

I definitely believe that it lasted longer in wet environments. It looks like canvas but the body is very hard, i think they dipped it in fiberglass resin. The flap is slightly more flexible, but still impregnated with something. Very difficult to get the tools in their spots. Definitely jungle proof.

It’s been said by more than one collector that the Canvas was a Vietnam era thing but Mr. Silvey has stated something different in his book .

That is very interesting

. Thanks for the correction. The last thing I want to do is spread misinformation.

It makes sense. A lot of ww2 stuff was still being used in the VN era.
