Mystery parts

Featured Replies

So today I went through a bunch of stuff that hasn't been moved in many many years 40+.

 

The first item is some kind of tool I believe. It's probably my dad's 1911 tool or something even though you don't need a tool to take one down. It was found in his gun stuff. My father is gone 6 years so I can't ask.

 

Anyway, you guys can probably identify it straight away.

The second bits are holsters and their parts.

 

I understand the black holsters and the big tan one. The little tan one looks like a drop leg to me. The triangle thingy...I dunno. The Mag pouch is pretty straight forward to. Any comments welcome on this stuff. It's all Korean war era stuff and has been in a bag since the 50s.

The first looks like a M10 combo tool for a Garand.

 

The small tan holster appears to be a spring clip type shoulder holster.

 

The black GI holsters are from post Korea when the Army changed from brown to black boots. They may be earlier holster that were dyed. They should have a date on the back.

 

The triangle thing might be part of a shoulder holster harness (not GI).

Wait wait wait.

 

 

The holster on the right... OH THE IRONY!!! BLOOMBERG LEATHER GOODS!

Aha! M1 GARAND M3 COMBINATION TOOL. You got me close enough that a google image search of M1 Garand tool showed one.

 

This item is now for sale :) I should probably keep it if I could ever get to Ohio and get my father's Garand.(I'm going soon but not to visit my dad's wife..shudder)

These are all from the end or just post Korea. I would assume they were bought on base but it's hard to say.

There's no google info on that company. Long defunct I'm sure.

Well, the triangle thing is a WWII 1911 US Leather Holster Belt Top Piece. I found a similar one on Gun Broker.
