Upon delivery, I was able to get a good look at the gaiters \u2014 they are indeed military surplus, as per the trio of Swedish crowns stamped on the inside. Each gaiter is clearly from a different production run, although it\u2019s impossible for me to determine whether it\u2019s a matter of various manufacturers under contract, or a few years\u2019 difference in production, etc.\u00a0 The triple crown stamp is fairly clear on one gaiter; the second bears only a faint, partial outline of one crown, which may not show in the photo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
