Ammo pouches in Winnipeg

[rob love]

Ribtors warehouse in Calgary has a few (thousand) of the front pouches brand new in their cases. They run $5 each, cheaper by the hundred. They also have the shoulder straps for a buck or two each, again there are thousands.

If anyone is through Calgary, this is a must see surplus warehouse, that is, if you can find it. It is buried in an industrial park.

I was there a few weeks ago...they seem to only have a few used fronts left. They have several thousand P51 pouches though.

I suspect the fella that sold me the ones I have bought them from there.

Hi Dale (and others),

Would you be able to tel me what the manufacturer's name is to: "M.S.&U.Ltd."; what other P-37 Web Equipment they manufactured?

Thanks.

M.S.& U. Ltd. is Montreal Suspender & Umbrella Ltd.

They made quite a variety of webbing as far as I know. Along with Zephyr Looms & Textiles, they probably made complete sets for their contracts. I think Ed would probably know more about what they made in general.

Hi Dale,

Just letting you know that I got your package of 2 sets of Front Utility Pouches with matching Yolks (Z.L.&T.Ltd. 1940) this past Friday night without any problems.

Your package is still showing in Montreal the last time I checked with Canada Post. If it doesn't get to you by the prescribed delivery date, either you or I will have to contact Canada Post to have them look into why it hasn't been delivered. Just thought I'd let you know.

They're perfect! They go very well with my 2 Rears that I already have. Thanks again.

Now my Section Commander of our Re-Enactment Unit is strongly considering me for the Bren Gun No. 2 position of our group. Lol.

I plan on taking them to our General Monthly meeting today a 1:00 pm and show the rest of my members what a complete set looks like.

I think I have already told you that one of our members have bought 4 of the Rears shortly after I did. They're the same manufacturer as mine, either in 1940 or 1941 War Dates. Would you mind if I pass on your email address to him at our meeting later on today, in case he decides he wants to trade with you in order to have a complete set? I think he'll be interested. I dodn't want to give out your email address without your consent.

I asked him a few days ago if he had tried fitting his P-37 Web Belt (without the brass haradware attached) through the looped material on the backside on the Rear Utility Pouches he already has. So far he hasn't. In looking ahead, do you have any Fronts with matching Yolks left for trade? If so I'll, let him know today at our meeting.

Please advise soonest.

Rgs...

P.S.-Many, many thanks for the Front Pouches and Yolks. You now have one very happy collector and re-enactor.

Hi Dale,

My bad. I got my package this past Thursday night not Friday night as I said earlier.

Please forgive my error.

Hi Dale,

Now all I need is some inert Tracer Rounds and/or Basilite Rounds for my pouches. And so the fever continues. Lol.

Do you have any ideas where I could get my hands on some?
