SALE IS FOR A: Vietnam War Sleeping Bag Carrier Strap M-1956 Surplus Genuine G.I. US MilitaryCondition: Some Are Brand New, Some Do Show Tarnish On Metal Parts, Good ConditionM-1956 Sleeping Bag Carrier Strap.*An H-Shaped Arrangement Of Web Straps Just Short Of An Inch In Width Was Issued To Secure The Bed Roll On The Back Above The Field Pack. At The "H" Intersection Were A Pair Of Friction Buckles, And The Straps Would Go Around The Roll And Be Attached At These Buckles. The Other End Of The Straps Were Designed To Be Looped Under The Web Strap On The Padded Portion Of The Suspenders, Through The Metal Ring At The Front Of The Suspenders And Fastened Back Onto Themselves By Lift-The-Dot Fasteners On The Straps. This Arrangement Effectively Made Use Of The Empty Upper Back Area To Carry The Sleeping Bag, But The Weight Of The Bed Roll And Field Pack Had A Tendency To Pull The Pistol Belt Up To The Soldier's Chest At The Front. The Sleeping Bag Straps Fell Out Of Use With The Adoption Of Larger Rucksacks And Were Not Widely Used In Vietnam Given The Lack Of Need For A Sleeping Bag In The Tropical Climate There.*Also Great For Strapping Any Sleeping BagMade In The U.S.A.If You Have Any Further Questions Please Do Not Hesitate To Ask Us, We Will Answer To The Best Of Our Knowledge
