So mine,being identical to later dated helmets could possibly be a trials helmet due to the date?

Thanks

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.

Any ideas please when these entered service or were on general issue and any ideas of makers please?

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.

Untouched by myself,like it a lot and the belt has the early black fittings not the later green anodised ones.

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.

Somebody likes it a sit has a bid:shocked:

Also seems a bit optimistic on the prices of his Cadet smocks maybe??

Any ideas/thoughts on this??

Also on British Jungle Boots isnt the tread pattern the same as on the DMS boots?

Mine has no vents though,unlike yours.

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.

Very very nice,will be interesting to see who the winner was;)

Nothing special about this other than nice to see a date for a change

Any chance please of the item number to have a look?

These appear to be a brown colour and not black.

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.

CWW-are these the same as the SV type boots?

On the subject of boots,i also have somewhere a pair of unissued DMS and a 60s dated pair. When were the DMS introduced into service?

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?

Hadnt really taken any notice of the zips but just checked and they are indeed upside down;)
