  7. Scotch Harry
    No markings whatsoever unfortunately and the material and fittings certainly LOOK British at least.
  8. Scotch Harry
    No idea,it came with some other unissued 58 Patt bits and the fittings look British but have never seen one before so could be foreign?
  9. Scotch Harry
    Any ideas,no markings at all.
  10. Scotch Harry
    I dont buy or collect sealed patterns specifically but this was offered as a trade so couldnt say no;)

    Got me intrigued now,any pics please? Anyone seen the very early mug with the different shaped handles...? Also intrigued as to the "fact" that non British bottles are a different weight than British ones,would love to find out if thats true or not

    The chains were certainly replaced by individual squaddies but they definitely were original to the early caps. On the subject of the early metal(or whatever they are made of)I guess they were replaced for many reasons of which 2 I can think of myself-they are a bugger to close and easily cross thread and also while trying to close they have a tendency to make quite a high pitched squealing noise,not very good in tactical situations I wouldnt think so a great idea changing over to rubber.

    As far as I am aware, British 44ptn w/bottles have NEVER had a chain retainer, The early ones did.

    Unfortunately appears to be missing a label from the side of the hood. I take it the DPM base is probably a later/aftermarket addition and not original to the bag itself?
  17. Scotch Harry
    Danish bottles(or at least all the ones Ive seen over the years) have been stamped.
  18. Scotch Harry
    Mark,I am of the same opinion/thought as you in that all the mugs that are unstamped/marked are NOT British issue but are either Nato or just commercial made copies. At one time it was stated they were Danish but have had example of Danish mugs and these are stamped on the bottom. Another question that has bugged the hell out of me is why are NONE(or none I have ever seen) of the bottles stamped/marked? Again,like the mugs I have seen a Danish bottle,pretty much identical and that was stamped at the bottom.
  19. Scotch Harry
    Were there any British made exact M69 copies(not the later types)? Thanks

    Only recently after years of searching managed to find an early 58 Patt pack and it needs some work unfortunately.
  24. Scotch Harry
    So over the moon with this,never knew there were British Made examples as thought they were all US supplied.
  25. Scotch Harry
