Snapper Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've had twenty-two years of it. Still trying to get gaps in my schedule to catch up with all my photo-admin. Patience is a virtue, or so I am told. Mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I presume '58 webbing was developed in 1958 ... I have always assumed so. did it have to wait for Battledress to disappear in the early 1960's before it came in to use or was there a time when it was worn in place of WW2 style webbing with brown '49 Battledress? Any photos anyone? 58 pattern was barely preceded by 57 pattern, intended for jungle wear over the top of green denims which were subsequently made of DPM as the first combats as we now know them. I am guessing that the revised 58 pattern simply took the place of 57 pattern in non-jungle environments. And presumably by 1958, webbing for wear in combat was worn over cheap denim rather than expensive BD which was reserved for in-barracks wear only. But it is just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james-sas Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 does anyone know of a '58 pattern belt on a roll pin buckle, i know various units had modified cargo straps for this purpose, but was it ever done to the 58 belts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcap Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 there were after-market belts made with roll-pin fixings, I think Arktis might've made a few back in the early 90s, but afaik, they never were an issue bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretfixer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Was there a dedicated sterling smg ammo pouch in 58' pattern webbing? yes there was. I have a couple of MInt unissued ones.

ferretfixer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 could you do me a massive favour and post some pics so i know what i'm looking for!!ta james No probs, These are ideal for a crew belt kit in an AFV. A couple of mags with an SMG is adequte for self defence in a Hurry! Much easier also when working on a vehicle. you dont have all the inconvienience of a full set of 58' with the associated weight & bulk getting in the way! These are a decendant of the '44 patt Webbing. they were identical but in the lighter shade of green web for the Sten. The '58 patt is identical but in the Dark green web & obviously dated with Postwar dates. :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james-sas Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Also any suggestions on where i can get some, and prices? thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Was there a dedicated sterling smg ammo pouch in 58' pattern webbing? Maybe there was a Sterling pouch (as has been confirmed elsewhere), but in fourteen years (seven in a Recce Regiment where everybody had an SMG, so you'd think we'd be issued SMG mag pouches) almost exclusively with an SMG as my personal weapon, I never saw one. I personally wouldn't lose sleep looking for them: even if technically, they may be correct, you'd be laughed at by a generation of us who had to cram our SMG mags into SLR pouches. Numerous years I represented my regiment or my subsequent corps at Skill-At-Arms meetings and even there I never saw an SMG pouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
