-
Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is a fantastic example of an iconic belt rig worn by officers and NCOs alike! The set is in beautiful, slightly worn condition and even includes a full size resin prop of an M1911 pistol, something you do not encounter often with holsters. This is a wonderful opportunity to add this ready to display rig to your collection.The M-1956 Load-Carrying Equipment (LCE), also known as the Individual Load-Carrying Equipment (ILCE), was developed by the U.S. Army and first issued in the early 1960s. The M-1956 LCE was designed to replace the M-1945 Combat Pack, the M-1923 cartridge belt, the M-1936 pistol belt and the M-1937 BAR magazine belt. The M-1956 LCE was designed to be quickly configured, using no tools, to accommodate various mission and ammunition loads. The M-1956 LCE remained in service through the 1980s and set the standard for future United States military load-carrying equipment.The Items Featured:- Black Leather M-1916 Holster: The holster is in great condition and features a clear US in oval embossed on the front. The reverse still retains a manufacturer’s stamp for BUCHEIMER. Featured inside of the holster is a full scale replica prop M1911 pistol.- M-1956 First Aid Pouch: The pouch is in wonderful condition and still retains a legible US on the front. The manufacturer information on the reverse is no longer able to be read. The pouch contains an original “FIRST AID DRESSING CARLISLE MODEL” bandage packet, but has a small roll of ace wrap inside to use as a filler.- M-1956 M1911 Pistol Ammunition Magazine Pouch: The pouch is in wonderful condition and does show signs of use with verdigris on the metal fittings but nothing extensive. The reverse does have manufacturer information present but it is too faded to be read.A lovely iconic belt rig set that comes more than ready for further research and display.
