Product description

A small nylon pouch for a compass or first aid dressing. A really handy addition to any rucksack and shoulder bag, or just hang it on your belt.

The M-1956 first aid / compass pouch was more or less directly transferred over to the newer systems. The first improvement came in 1967 in the guise of a pouch of the same model, but made of nylon and with a plastic snap fastener, instead of the older canvas one which had a standard metal snap. Canvas and metal items don't play well in the moist jungle.

Later, in the 70's, these were redesigned slightly and the plastic snap - which ultimately proved too fiddly - was changed to a brass one. This is pretty much how things stayed up until the advent of MOLLE gear. This is a simple, envelope-like square pouch with one US keeper on the back and a metal snap in the front.

Used US army surplus

In used but perfectly serviceable condition. Genuine stuff made in the US and A.

The pouch I received was in new condition, I use it to store my earphones. The Alice clip is new as well and attaches to the webbing belt with ease.

Looks as advertised. Works as intended. Mine did not have the US marking... bummer! But had some handwritten stuff... yay! Tip: It fits the local Särmä wax box like a charm.

A very decent surplus small-general purpose pouch for your ALICE gear. These are perfectly fine for your LBV/ALICE harness slots on your shoulder, or anywhere else you can stick the one-column keeper onto! Simple enough to hold the US compass or a bandage. These also hold a small baofeng UH5 radio very well, and the flap can move out of the way for your whip antenna to still stick out and be out of the way of your face.
