I came across a really faded Type I, stock mag pouch on eBay from a seller in Greece.  I could tell in the picture the legible letters of the mfg didn't match up with any pouches I currently have.  I did a quick search in the CCNLs to no avail. I tried Googlin' and found a KINGSLEY FASHIONS INC 1943 had been sold on WorthPoint at one time but it doesn't have any pics.  None the less I bought the pouch.  I tried a little more Googlin' and so far only found one other reference to it in a list of pouch manufacturers on www.usarmydatadepot.com.  (This appears to be a French site with considerable info on US military items which you may want to check them out if you haven't).  So with all that said, has anyone come across one of these?

Can make a sticker for a running list.

Or we can make new list

I posted to the above as you suggested.  As for compiling new info, what would be most helpful?  I know I regularly go to CCNL 261 and 262 when I encounter a pouch I don't have.  These tables include Body Color, Front Color, and Piping Color which I have a hard time distinguishing some of the shades unless they're side by side.  Also, being faded doesn't help much but we can sure try if we want to maintain all that data.  Odds are there wouldn't be that many new additions to these tables.  

Thoughts?
