Vietnam era re-issue late war F/S S/B McCord

[Mark K]

Re-issue McCord late war F/S S/B heat stamp 893 ? which would put the production date as March or April of 1944 it is sporting a 1961 dated Capac liner and a 1963 dated cotton twill Mitchell cover...There is some rather old and faded looking graffiti on the cover but who can say when it was applied ...

Very nice & with the T-1 quick release.

 Since September 1944 a new release hook, called T1 was adopted and seldomly mounted, though it became a standard only on years '50s production.

Thank you and yes you are correct as to the T-1 quick release the liner was the last contract for CAPAC before they folded and were taken over by Marmac Industries Inc. and the factory moved state
