Exactly how was the jump case worn and what is the loop for? Any vintage pics?
A few pics of my M1A1 jump case. Did not come with my carbine but I found one from the same year of manufacture. A bit frayed in a couple spots and some minor stains, plus the material and lettering are faded a bit.
Mine has a wide strap sewed to the back like a belt loop, opens from the sides. Also has a smaller loop sewed on. Was the case designed to be worn with the a web belt through the wide strap and what was the smaller loop for?
I have read that strapping it on for a jump could lead to a broken leg. How did that happen?
