This was the first bandolier adopted for the M1903 Springfield for use by the Cavalry. These items were not sturdy, and are extremely rare today. This WPG reproduction fills the void. Eagle snaps on all pockets.
US Helmet Nets After exhausting all supplies of helmet nets of unknown origin available from Europe, I have finally begun making reproductions of the British made nets that were commonly issued to US troops.
US 2 Inch Helmet Nets (Khaki) These are 2 inch khaki nets, made by cutting up WWII US camouflage nets. This is how the originals were made up by the GI's, and if you see one with a dated tag, it is a swindle.
In 1911 the US Army switched from canvas leggings to leather puttees for all mounted services. There were several variations issued until the switch to leather lined canvas leggings in 1917. Current production are supplied in natural undyed leather.
