Thx,

If any of those are OD they're very faded.
I don't want to say what the seller thought he had as far as the number of OD.
I don't want to sway any thoughts.

Charlie: Take time out - go look out the window and tell us about the snowstorm! - Bob
Then I'm snow blind.
Storm has passed here, we're very lucky to what the NE is going to see.
I took these pics in the garage with some sun on them.
They look different inside.

The 6th from the left is pretty close to being Khaki, maybe all have a tinge of green? - Bob
2 have pretty good crimps on the ends.
If there is any green it is/was OD. Khaki is pretty yellow.
This is not a test, really am looking for y'alls thoughts.
Seller thought he had 2 OD and 7 he called "Marine Issue"
That got me a bit worried. I asked if they were marked Marine. (thinking Uh Oh)
He replied NO, they're that Marine color.
From Left To Right,
The 4th and 5th have the early round keeper.
Now Inside they look quite different. I'll have to try some different pics from inside.
Once before I posted a box with misc C tips for color help.
2 other boxes all looked green to me, but this link shows the other ones I just wasn't sure of at that time.
Here's the link and replies to that box...
Anyone see Khaki?
I'll try new pictures with some Khaki med pouches laying across this new batch later tonight or in the morning.
To me Aged Khaki looks like a Burlap color.
I'm not up on the transitional colors like guys such as Mr. Ricca.
Appreciate the help,
Charlie
You guys, don't forget - there's some good pics of khaki (make that OD#3) slings in the "sticky" threads. - Bob
A good article on "What is Khaki", it describes the color of original US equipment and may clear up some confusion. Or it may not....
Khaki - ATF
And yes, it is from a reenactors' sutler website but it is well researched and accurate.
Thx gew8805,
A good read!

I'm with a couple of these guys Charlie, I think they're just washed out.
