Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic rigger-modified example of a WWII Issue Paratrooper Jump Case for the Carbine, Cal .30, M1A1, which was a paratrooper version with a folding stock. Referred to variously as the Scabbard, M1A1, Jump Case, or Paratrooper holster, it was designed to carry and protect the M1 M1A1 folding stock carbine during a parachute jump. The bags were padded with felt on the leg side, so the bag had to be carried flap side out.

The canvas belt holster was strapped to the leg at the bottom, and was slipped over the belt or parachute harness by using the large belt loop. The top flap is closed by two "lift-the-dot" snaps. Since attaching it to the belt and leg would prevent the leg from bending, one must assume that the holster was mostly attached to the webbing.

This example is maker marked under the top flap: HARIAN / 1944. This example was made with OD Green #7 canvas, unlike earlier versions made with OD #3. It still retains the original color very well. The case is in great shape, with both snaps working, and the leg strap still fully intact. The top flap also has had an M1 Carbine Magazine pouch stitched to it, so that they wearer could equip more ammunition.

Just like the case used by the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions during Normandy and Market Garden. Ready to display along with your M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine!
