The Marine Corps pick mattocks carrier made by Philadelphia Depot has several distinctive features compared to the army version:
-USMC wire hanger
-USMC golden colored materials
-WWI era buckles and flat metal tips
-Lack of U.S. marking
-Typical USMC Depot manufacturing characteristics.
Did the Marine Corps have this type of wire hanger during WW1 on their field gear or was it introduced sometime during the WW2 era?
