the textured paint looks pretty good and compares quite well with this 50's repaint of a wartime shell.

Belt Waist (Adjustable) 1995 - Comparison With Nylon '58 Pattern?
Jerry B replied to SimonLMoore's topic in Clothing/uniforms
I can't help you with your question but I do also have one of these belts, came with some 58 pattern webbing I got recently. -
Pretty much as I expected, but always good to hear it from someone else. Does anyone know what did they replace this with in current service?

This site suggest the prototypes were first seen in 76 and issue started in 1983, which seems about right. http://www.cascoscoleccion.com/granbret/gbdanda.html

Had this one a while but the exact dating for these seems to be uncertain and the contract number does not appear on the comprehensive list on the forum as far as I could see. It came complete with headphones and mic and plug in jack lead and desert camo paint so I assume it saw service in the first gulf war. Thanks.

Edward, I did buy it, mostly based on the sellers crappy pics and the price of £15, but I had some hopes that it was the version without the first aid pouch on the rear of the right sleeve as I thought it might be pre 84 from the contract code and the dates published online for that contract. It was cheap and if as it seems it is a post 84 version with the FA pouch, oh well, such is life, still a good smock para to have in my collection.
