    USMC WW2 Poncho

    Hi, I am new to the site, so not sure if my thread should be posted here, if it isn’t, I am sorry.

    About 2 years ago, I bought a WW2 USMC Poncho 2nd Model, or I think I did. It has no markings, it is stiff, and still had some of the talcum powder. I would like to know if there are any existing USMC WW2 ponchos without any markings. I can post pictures if required. I bought it from sofmilitary.co.uk for a very reasonable price of £49.99, if it is fake, I have already made my peace, but confirmation would be nice.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I was in the USMC from 1956 to 1959. The type of Poncho in use at that time had green camo on one side and brown on the other. They were fairly stiff, even at that time. They were carried folded over the back of the cartridge belt. I do not believe they had any markings. At least none that I recall. I also have one currently that I picked up somewhere over the years. That one is very stiff and contains no markings. I might add that the M.C. rarely got any new equipment and in the mid 1950's all of our 782 gear was mostly WW2 and Korean war vintage.
