Description:
You will receive the following:
- Three WWII-era USGI steel M3 “Grease Gun” 30-round magazines, wrapped in protective plastic (likely arsenal storage or later preservation).
- WWII-era pouch.
- WWII-era M3 magazine loader, stored in the pouch side pocket.
The three magaznes are marked as follows:
#1: SPW GL C-153427
- SPW: Standard Products of Warren (one of the primary WWII U.S. contractors for M3 Grease Gun magazines)
- GL: Guide Lamp Division of General Motors (Guide Lamp subcontracted or co-produced components for several WWII small arms programs)
- C-153427: U.S. Ordnance drawing / contract number
- This magazine has been unwrapped from its original plastic wrapping, and rewrapped.
#2 and #3: KL GL C153427
- KL: Killeen Manufacturing Co. (known WWII contractor for M3 Grease Gun magazines. Less common than SPW, which makes it more desirable to collectors).
- GL: Guide Lamp Division of General Motors (Guide Lamp subcontracted or co-produced components for several WWII small arms programs).
- C153427: U.S. Ordnance drawing / contract number.
- Magazine #2 has been unwrapped from its original plastic wrapping, and rewrapped.
- Magazine #3 has not been unwrapped.
Pouch: The pouch is unmarked. However, many original pouches are unmarked. During WWII, marking practices were inconsistent, especially for canvas gear, especially late-war production (1944–45). Construction details:
- Correct OD #3–OD #7 transitional shade
- WWII-correct canvas weave
- Proper rounded flap shape
- Correct reinforced center seam
- WWII-style cottontie tapes (not nylon)
- Correct stitch length and thread thickness
- No modern bar-tack stitching
- No synthetic thread shine
- The faint blue thread running through the webbing is a known WWII-era tracer yarn
- Proper box-X reinforcement at strap attachments
- Wear pattern: Natural aging and fading and no signs of modern reproduction “distress”
