[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1783069, member: 13284"] I actually found a couple pack tails at the shop that I picked the canteen up from. Let me know if you're looking for something specifically and I'll check them out for you next time that I go in to pick one up for myself. I posted in the milsurp thread that I wasn't too focused on putting together a 100% correct display. I am mainly just putting together period items that I've been able to find at affordable prices. I already had the Ka-Bar and Marines were often issued the USN versions when the USMC's were in short stock so that's a good enough excuse for me to stick it on there. I would definitely rather have it on there than a repro M-3 (I can't afford an original WWII era one). I had planned on adding an M1910 shovel to the attachment on the pack (along with the meat can pouch) but it looks like an authentic cover may be tough to come by at a decent price. I've seen photos of the folding shovels attached to the M1928 haversacks and may end up going that route instead. [/QUOTE]
