Description
Authentic Unissued WWI 1918 11-Pocket Grenade Chest Rig — All Canvas
Offered is an original, unissued World War I 11-pocket grenade chest rig dated 1918. Designed to carry multiple grenades and small field tools, this rig reflects period trench-war equipment and practical load-carrying solutions used in the Great War.
The piece is unissued and shows only age-toning consistent with long storage rather than service wear. Stitching, pocket flaps, and fastenings remain intact and sound, preserving the original form and function. With eleven individual pockets sized for early 20th-century hand grenades and small accessories, it offers an authentic example of Allied (or export) trench equipment design from the closing year of the conflict.
Suitable for museum display, research collections, or advanced militaria assemblages, this rig provides clear provenance as a 1918 production unissued artifact and is notably complete and unrestored.
