There is a Real Nice 1917 DWM Artillery Rig for auction

Unfortunately it is a European-based Auction House

The magazine pouches look like reproductions to me because the closure straps look unused, but the rest of the rig seems to be original...

But at least you get to see the photo here!

It's only 2300 Euro's !

Perhaps one of our European members could take advantage of this!

Enjoy!

John, Yes a nice rig. I wonder what 2300 Euros comes to American? The spare mag pouches both look phoney to me. So does the carrying strap although you can only see a small portion of it. I make these double mag pouches for my own use on my Navy rigs and own some originals and I will bet you dollars to doughnuts these are not the real McCoy. Otherwise a nice pistol and holster.
