WWI M1917 Browning Spare Parts Roll

While the WWII Era "M13 Spare Parts Roll" is still easy to come by and was produced in numbers where even today NOS examples are cheap and plentiful, its predecessor on the other hand, the M1917 Spare Parts Roll, is much much more elusive and rare. Many WWI era originals were re-stenciled/remarked in the 1930s and were used up early in the second war, very few unadulterated ones survive today in its original form. For the collector or reenactor that is a purist, it's hard to complete a period correct display without one.

Starting with our original rare NOS Rock Island Arsenal 1919 dated example in hand and using the original Aug 1918 RIA blueprints we set about to make this beautiful and faithful WWI and Inner War era correct spare parts roll and included its 2 matching Spare Parts Envelopes so you don't have to go scouring the Earth for them. We used custom color and weight matched canvas from our original example and used quality US made Brass Scoville DOT fasteners (same wartime supplier). Each comes correctly stamped with the production date of 8-18 and RIA markings. Correct for use and issue with all Brownings and several others. We made these overall about a half inch longer than the originals so its not so much of a fight to get it closed like originals.

Spare parts roll set includes:

• Parts Roll (8-18 RIA)
• x2 parts envelopes
