Thanks.
I always thought NP but was just having a sort through of various bits and found one dated 1984/5 and made by N.E.I ELECTRONICS LTD MOULDINGS TEXOLEX.
Its a shame really as on the collecting front these have little interest and are pretty much worthless value wise which is a shame as they were a very important step in evoloution of British Military Helmets.
Im a bit confused on what exactly this type of Bergen is and also the PLCE type pouches with the press stud closure as i hear the term "trials" and 85 Pattern-were/are there 2 different types or are both the same just named differently by collectors???
Many,many years back i had 2 MK4 shells without the rim and sold them off as i thought they were missing the rim but have read somewhere,either on a forum or in an article somewhere that they were made like that.
Hmmm,Cyclops ROCS,i have 2,not sure of size and they are issued/used but sure at the right price one could be sold,not for £500 unfortunately for me:cheesy::cheesy:
Just having a sort thorough and came across these-as RAF stuff isnt my thing,no idea where they came from or anything about them. The chromed pair have nothing stamped on them that i can see unlike the black pair---
Were the webbing waterproof lined "SAS" E&E pouches an issue item or private purchase please as ive just scored one but no markings etc.
Also,are they 58 or 44 Patt?
Thanks.
Just came across this-had it for a few years(cannot remember from where it came) and appears to be similar.Unfortunately the label is missing and my cap has a wire brim.
Not sure-SOLES,VULCANISED maybe????
They are the term used to describe the WW2 era boots used by Commandos-basically Ammo boots with the leather soles replaced by the Itshide commando type soles.
Also have some post war DMS type boots with the Itshide type soles-NOT converted DMS boots but made this way.
I have a used pair somewhere that i used to wear regularly in the winter,will have to dig those out and compare.
I always thought that the MK1 BCH had the DMS type heel and the type like mine were the MK2-never BCH came with speed lacing,thought that was an Assault boot thing?
