Does it have a tag sewn on somewhere??  If so, post the info here and someone can help you out.

Regarding the tag, if it has a tag, see if it has an NSN (National Stock Number) on it somewhere.  That'll identify it pretty quick.

Otherwise, a picture is worth more than a thousand words.

And you might also have better luck with identifying obscure military field gear in web communities dedicated to that kind of stuff.  Though I'm sure there are a few people here who have a wide variety of experience in the field, you'll simply find a higher concentration of them in communities like MCF (http://www.militariacollecting.com/) and their counterparts.

I'd say it's probably from around the Korean war but I can't tell you for sure; wish I could be of more help.

That's an unfamiliar stock number format. It doesn't match anything I'm familiar with. You might have some trouble looking it up, especially online.

Well the tag says "Dated Feb 1 194..." (can't see the last digit; it's folded under).  That should be one clue.

I think your question has been answered, it was made in 1945.  That's what time period it came from.
