    Nice catch!I had it on my watch list in the vain hope that i was the only person who spotted it!Looks like it found a good home..Strange thing with Hogspear's stuff, relatively common items seem to sell for lots of money?.. so, when is this book coming out then?

    Nice!So there was two different types of these pouches with the non angled fixings?One with metal inserts on the sides and one without?Then the fixings were angled(3rd issue) I have a very tatty left hand pouch with the straight fixings and the sides of the pouch top have narrow non metal sides. All ive got to get now is the RH pouch then i have a complete early set.

    Im just wondering how many different types there are?And what sort of era they were used. So far i have: S95 in tropical and temperate.Ive heard some of this stuff called 'teabag' material??Whats that? S95 in ripstop material. Some of this gear has normal buttons, some the type on tapes...Are the sewn buttons earlier? Desert windproofs(is there a jacket?) and gortex. Thanks:-D
