First item I got is the mess tin carrier, it is issued and a bit dirty, but it's in good condition if it were to be cleaned, What I don't plan on doing though.
The second item was a pattern 51 gas mask bag, it has 2 attachment spots missing off, but it's just fine other than that, smells old, but doesn't everything that's over 50 years old? Now I know that the pistol belt isn't the correct one, but it's just for display , and I currently don't have a 51 belt

ReplyDeleteI assume you mean on the mess tin carrier, the stamps are very faint, but from what I can see, there's a large number 4, the date (1953) and a circle with a broad arrow in it, and there's one more I can't make out, I'll get back to you if I find anything else, I can not make out any of the markings on the grenade carrier that I have seen, And the canteen is also dated 1953, as most of the pattern 51 gear I've found is.
