SimonLMoore Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Thought this might interest some on here, picked up at Stoneleigh last weekend, a 1957 dated trials 1958 pattern pack with the press stud to secure the quick release shovel/pick axe handle carrier. I'm afraid it proved rather difficult to photograph the markings. Edited January 30, 2018 by SimonLMoore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43rdrecce Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Simon, are there any other differences? Size of any of the compartments for instance? Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLMoore Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Not that I can see Paul, the dimensions seem around the same, there is one other slight difference I've noticed, the hooks to attach to the yoke are the other way up, that is they hook down onto the d-rings as opposed to up and under them as on the issue packs.

43rdrecce Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks Simon, seems the only real difference on this set, Experimental No2, were the pouches, which were a different size, and the cape carrier which was slightly shorter in length.

SimonLMoore Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 A shame really as they could have done with making the pack a bit more voluminous and providing a better system of carriage but there we are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfield1940 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Very nice. Trials 1958 Pattern must be one of the rarest webbing sets out there. Does anyone have any other components? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
