45 dated field gear/data base

[MULON]

Ciao a tutti

This is an idea around my head for a long time ......

It would be nice to be able to certify the exact materials produced until 8 May 1945 in order to distinguish them from any false or reused after the war. What do you think? Can we do it?
If yes ..... come on, let's start.
My idea is at first to post at most one or two complete pictures front/rear of the items, then post also detailed and clear pictures of brands / manufacturers.
Who starts?

I do agree Giancarlo. great idea. unfortunately I have no '45 gear and that is a rare bird to obtain but I do like the late war items and would love to see the details of them. a good learning experience for us all and a new topic as well. Ill be watching this thread. Glenn
