Very nice...but that's not for common issue? Surely not for the morning kit layout? I'm sure that would be on a very limited scale of issue...very nice though.
Neat, never seen one like that before, the average squaddie was certainly not allowed to remove the mag link, some thing like that would be for armourers only I suppose.
Do you have any to show? Love to see any variations... I've not seen any of these until now...guess I should study Skennerton a bit closer. I have the book after all...Quote:

Nice looking pieces too.
The most common one is the one made by Central, quite large quantities of which were sold off here some years ago.
I had a Central made one but sold it to GDU who found this one for me, sold it to him for about a 5th of the price i paid for this one, that does not mean i paid a huge amount for the early one just that i sold Greg my Central one cheap :)
