i got a set from Peter.
It's not bad really, the color's ok (tan), the snaps are a bit glossy but some are just right,
the US markings are good but some of the markings inside the pouches are off (HAPLAN CO. 1951...they must've copied the Korean era one).
the belt buckle are a bit thin in diameter.
but with a little weathering on the tan canvas, we are good to go!
OVER ALL RATING- IT's OK, i'm happy... It is good enough for our PHOTO-OPS!
set includes-
1 M1 Magazine belt
1 1928 Haversack
1 Gas Mask Bag
1 pair of Leggings (size 4)
1 M1 Carbine Mag pouch
1 BAR Mag pouch (i think)
i'll post some pics later this week

Excellent! Large size leggings too. those are hard to find, even in repro. Drop the gas mask bag for USMC impressions but Army used them as carry bags instead of for what they are made for. I have that pistol belt for you too.
I thought the color looked quite good compared to my stuff. Lift the dots were made a bit shinney. Flat paint was a big expense in those days. read that somewhere...
Congrads 1-0
When you gett'n that M1?..hehehehe. (BAR Friday...wink)

Just a note on that, change the markings on the bumber. It shows 1st ID
