			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Hi,
<br>
<br>
So this isn&#39;t the first time I&#39;ve seen this happening, but I noticed on ebay that the Stgw 57 leather pouches are going for REALLY high prices.  What
gives?  These things were $9.99 not to long ago.  Any ideas behind the phenomenon?

			<link>http://theswissriflesdotcommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/7079/t/evolution-of-the-Swiss-backpack-and-breadbag.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hi:
<br>
<br>
This is my first post, so I&#39;ll start with a pretty basic question I can&#39;t find answered elsewhere on the forum.
<br>
<br>
How did the Swiss backpack and breadbag evolve in the 20th century? 
<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to see a lineup of the various models of the Swiss backpack, side by side, along with the proper nomenclature for each (M-1915, M-1944, etc.). 
Same for the breadbag.  Early to late.
<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a collection they&#39;d like to share with a photo... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Just got back from my annual trip to CH this past weekend. I was able to pick up some very interesting WW2 items for my collection, but the prizes are a
very nice set of leather gamaschen for bicycle troops dated 1940. I was also able to secure a hard to find overcoat bag for the bicycle. The only ones I have
ever seen were in wartime photos, or the replicas coming out of Germany.
<br>
<br>
<br>
I will try to post some photos later this week.</p> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello!
<br>
I collect since a life Swiss military pistols, revolvers and - of course - any related item. I&#39;m still wondering which type(s) of belt was used with these
handguns. I have a lot of  holsters, cleaning kit pouches but, up today, I wasn&#39;t  able to locate (not even at Lausanne and Luzern gunshows) a true pistol
belt for these beauties (also because I don&#39;t know what I should  looking for...). I&#39;m also wondering if the leather cleaning pouch was usually carried
