Colebrook Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nice. I have a couple with the clip fastening. The stud fastening one looks good. Never seen one of those before. There seems to have been a few versions of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nice......these date from the early 70s era on account of the American "ALICE" style clips used and employed on '72 pattern webbing ..........it's possible that these clips lasted longer in use on other items, such as the "SAS" vests.........not entirely certain though........

Scotch Harry Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 The one with the pop stud closure started life as a plastic clip version as you can see the stitch marks where the plastic clips were. What reason it was changed to pop studs I have no idea-damage to the plastic clips or maybe for ease of use??? There are faded markings on both(genuine issue).

Nickmow Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Silly money ? Ahhhh bugger, at a certain period of my life I was digging through a box full of these about 20 years ago. Thinking they where a bit rubbish, they where being back loaded and nobody would of missed a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
