Members TXAG Posted January 5, 2014 Members Report Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Looking for an accurate pattern to make this if anyone has this pattern, please... http://www.victoryge...rimaryCatID=58 Here is a reproduction of the same case... http://onlinemilitar...p?id=3580&bc=no Thanks for any leads...

Frank Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Try searching for it (google) in the Military TM's (technical manuals) if you know the stock number for them. They will usually show the parts exploded view with dimensions and just print them to size, cut your pieces and assemble. Quote Never argue with a stupid person. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!!
Members TXAG Posted January 7, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Things like this would've normally been covered in a TB (technical bulletin) or drawing number, which are hard to locate for WWI stuff. Field gear like this doesn't normally have its own TM. I'll keep looking though... Additionally, these may have been procured through commercial channels...I'm still doing research, but it may not have been produced by the Army. Still researching...I may end up having to buy the repro one and work off of it...rather have an original pattern to go by though, if possible... Edited January 22, 2014 by northmount Quote
Members Sjohnsone Posted January 22, 2014 Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 shoot - for 30 bucks, buy the original, make a pattern and then sell the pattern to people for 5 bucks. Quote
Members TXAG Posted January 22, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I did end up buying one of each since no one had any leads on any patterns...all I need to do now is measure them and come up with an assembly order. Might sell the patterns later, but it won't be for $5. Edited January 22, 2014 by TXAG Quote
Members johnggrg Posted January 24, 2014 Members Report Posted January 24, 2014 TXAG wish I could have helped you on this but I never even seen one these before. Looks like it would be a fun project. If you do end up selling a pattern for the leather one I would be very interested in buying one. I wonder what type of plastic would be used in making one? Well anyway thank you for sharing the idea very interesting. John Quote
Members johnggrg Posted June 27, 2015 Members Report Posted June 27, 2015 Does anyone have a pattern for this? I would be willing to buy the pattern if someone has it. Please let me know. Thank you. John P.S So what kind of plastic would be used for the window anyway? Quote
Members 25b Posted June 27, 2015 Members Report Posted June 27, 2015 Yeah, I figured it out and drew up measurements. Made one out of nylon and it works pretty well. Leather one will be more difficult. Window is clear plastic. Quote

Members 25b Posted June 30, 2015 Members Report Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Willing to share?? John No. Send me a PM if you want to know why, but it pertains to a specific person on here. (Not you, johnggrg...someone else is the reason for this on here...) Edited June 30, 2015 by 25b Quote
