Vegas Rich Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Can anyone from Shelby HQ verify if this is a Shelby Licensed item? ... https://www.armysurplusworld.com/product/p38-can-opener-2088 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSGT Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Those are stamped that way because the company that originally made them was from Shelby, OH. So they could have been stamped a couple of different ways, including US Shelby, and been military issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hamilton Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I used many a "P-38" opening cans on C-rats years ago but never had a "US Shelby" stamp on one. Would have been cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
