The instructions at the arrows say to press on the arrows then a piece of wire would pierce the alloy co2 cartridges,inflating the belt

Hello again My M26 is complete with both belt fastenings and thank you for advising the possible current value I won't sell it but it's good to know Inspired by your other video I used the mouth pieces and it fully inflates Amazing after being 80years old! Thank you again for your help

I seem to remember Robert Mitchum in the 'longest day' mentioning life presevers/belts. Its a good idea but a shame that design allowed for it to be worn at the waist and end up with the soldier dead. Very nice original piece and I agree , ebay can still be a good hunting ground....great back drop m8...all the best 😊😊😊😊

Excellent video again. I have one of these that I bought in the 1970s. Can you help with a query Mine is identical to yours but it is a dark green colour not tan coloured.Is this just a manufacturers variation? Thanks for your help
@historicmilitaria1944
@historicmilitaria1944 4 месяца назад
It's just a maker difference,both tan and green were seen side by side on omaha and relic green ones have been dug from the beach.
