Are these folks pretty reputable?

Hope so, I bought a Type 1 barrel band from them

Very !!

I thought so, just wanted to double check!

I have an unissued MK1 with the paper. They want $415 for one, wow.
Reputable but pricey.

I have bought a handful of things of them and liked everything I got. Some of the ebay stuff can be had at a decent price depending on what it is.

Do any of you guys have the Tweedie Footware ammo pouches like the one listed on this site? I was looking at mine today and think they say 1958 rather than 1956. I even penciled in a note in "War Baby Comes Home" to correct the 1956 date listed there. To me it looks like the contract date was 1957, so decided a 1956 date on the pouch would be incorrect.
Thanks! - Bob

Bob,

No 1958 that I have seen.

I sent you a PM.

Here's some pictures of my Tweedie Footwear pouches. After taking a closer look, I can see that the one on the left is 1956, but the one on the right with slightly different stitching and material, appears to be marked 1958. - Bob

Boxcars of cut-up carbines! Man, that was ugly. But, every time they torch one, ours go up in value.

Jeff is solid as a rock for original parts!
