WW2 Era M-1945 Combat Field Pack Suspenders Genuine USGI Surplus Excellent condition.
I listed these as used, but they are like new. They clearly are unissued. They are OD Green. I would say they are 99% unblemished, perhaps they have very slight storage wear. I don't know, I never saw a set of these when they were first made I wasn't born yet so I don't have anything to compare them too.
They are made to attach the M1945 combat field pack to. That was a top pack that rode high on the back and allowed for the M1945 Cargo pack to be attached under it.
These suspenders are needed to be able to carry the packs, making them an essential part of the M1945 Combat load carrying system. This set is an early production type because there is no padded on the straps. Later on after WW2 some sets had padding sewn directly to the shoulder straps.
