No , they were issued in WW2 . Mostly Marine and PTO . Originally made for the VB style rifle grenade , which was obsolete by WW2 , they used them for handgrenades and shotgun ammo . Most pictures of these you see are on shotgun toting Marines . Not many were issued , though , so new ones are common .
