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.

Never argue with a stupid person. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!!

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...

shoot - for 30 bucks, buy the original, make a pattern and then sell the pattern to people for 5 bucks.

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. :)

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

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?

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.

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...)
