airportable Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hi folks. Picked up a no. of these holdalls at a local event. I know the printing shows it is for a sight, but any-one know old they may be and what was the unit in it. No date marks at all. The clips for the carrying strap are the same as on Clansman CES bags and the S6 resp. case. The material is allso very much the same. Thanks. Andy.

airportable Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thanks very much chaps. So these holdalls are spot on for my display 1980-89 :-) From your info. I have found a pic of 42 commando patroling the Falklands with this sight fitted to the SLR. Impressive sight. Oh well at least I can put my sarnies in the bag and dream. I have to ask, what is the device fitted to the muzzle of the SLR in the pic? Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
