Well shit, I shouldn't have to say this but unfortunately I do, THESE ARE USED NOT NEW MILITARY SURPLUS ITEMS!!!!! These pouches are previously issued to Army personal but are fully functional. These WILL show some use such as dirt, dust, scuffs, abrasions, fading, scratches/scuffs on buckles, tape residue, or writing such as identification or DRMO. EVERYTHING is still fully functional and ready for use! They will need to be washed if you want them to look better. BUT because we are in the age of disclaimers and people who refuse to read, these are sold AS-IS, I will NOT send you junk unserviceable items!
