Colebrook Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 An example of 58 nylon. Anyone know if there was a 58 belt made. I assume that there was but I have never seen one. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Damn.....you have the nylon poncho roll I seek !!!!! But the waterbottle carrier is wrong, sorry......... There was a 58 pattern belt in nylon........... Also a large pack........ I still seek the pack, poncho roll and waterbottle carrier and my "MK2" 58 set in nylon is complete....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colebrook Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yes the water bottle pouch is a civvy type that I put together with the set. That pic from the trials is very good to see, thank you. I will look out for another poncho roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colebrook Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Angled and straight fixings on the ammo pouches too. I thought that they would have just trailed one style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colebrook Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 My mistake! I see that they are both angled R and L pouches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Fantastic set,did it come off Ebay recently? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colebrook Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 No not ebay this set. I have had this for a while. The poncho roll was the last bit to come. Just looking for a belt and water bottle pouch. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. My trial nylon 58 belt was found at Du Bora's in Aldershot a couple of years ago now........ The rest of the items were sourced from Silverman's in London at (for them) a very reasonable £15 per item......all used except for the yoke which is new..........seems they bought up most of the trial stock and still have this available now......look on their website, use the drop-down menu on each item, and it is still there.......this gear is genuine and far rarer than the earlier "72 pattern"......... Appreciate your eyes kept open for a second poncho roll !!! Silverman's have none of these, nor packs or waterbottle pouches, but do have the yokes, kidney pouches, ammo pouches and (apparently) belts too.......

Colebrook Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thank you for the info. Silvermans are about to have a clear out of their warehouse soon. I will check with them regarding the MK2 58. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Harry Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 There was a full set on Ebay a couple of weeks back and the seller claimed they had LOADS more,havent seen any more listed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 My one(and likely to be) only item of nylon 58 Patt webbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfield1940 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Very nice. I'm after the almost non-existent water bottle pouch (two versions...) and the near-mythical pack. Silvermans still have the kidney pouches, ammo pouches and yokes, but make sure you're sitting down before you look at the prices...:nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Will NOT be paying Silvermans prices any day soon thats for sure. Probably wont complete the set ever and not actively looking due to its rarity BUT of course if I come accross any bits at a sensible price then would be rude not to.

MHillyard Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Was there a trials nylon gas mask pouch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfield1940 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Was there a trials nylon gas mask pouch? Not that I'm aware of. By then the NBC friendly butyl S6 respirator haversack was in use, so presumably there was no need. There was a new respirator haversack with the 1985 trials PLCE set though. Almost the same as the later issue one, but had different rear fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I got my bits from them just before they whacked their prices up. Likewise I wouldn't pay what they're asking now. Bits turn up on eBay now and again. That's how I got my poncho carrier.

Will16 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I won a 72 pattern pack in a job lot of pouches from eBay. The 6 pouches cost less than £30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
