French Army Grenade Vest - Rare - Genuine - 50s - Military Issue - French Military

Purchased this item as a used clothing item several years ago. I have hand-washed and stored it, but I haven't had the opportunity to wear it, so I've decided to sell it. How about for camping or outdoor activities?

This is a French military grenade vest from around the 1950s to 1960s. It seems to also be referred to as an assault or combat vest. While it's thought to be a vest for carrying grenades, the pockets have a double structure and are vertically long, so they might have been intended for magazines. Like ammunition vests, this type of vest is rarely seen on the market, and this particular style is not commonly encountered in Japan. It has some weight to it. The rivets and other parts show rust, giving it a very atmospheric look. There are also some scuffs and fading, but it's an item recommended to add spice to your spring outfits.

Photo 3: The stamp on the inside is unreadable.

Photo 4: The sides can be adjusted.

Photos 5, 6, 7: There is rust, dirt, and scuffs on the metal fittings (there are also other areas not shown in the photos).

Photo 8: There is a divider inside.

Photos 12, 13, 14, 15: Measurements are difficult, so I have taken photos with a measuring tape placed on it. Please use these as a reference.

This is a used military item. There may be blue rust, storage stains, odors, etc. The information I found online is from an amateur, so there may be inaccuracies. The colors may also differ due to photography. Please purchase only if you can judge from the images and understand these points.
