    Portuguese M64 Webbing

    Here its my collection of Portuguese M64 webbing. This system started to be used in 1964 during the Ultramar War in Africa that lasted from 1961 until 1975 in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau.

    The system borrowed features from the Britishicon pattern 37 like the design of the large pack and haversack, from the British pattern 58 like the large pack mounting method in the harness and belt, from the US M1936 like the hooks used to fix elements to the combat bel andd the design of the first combat belt that was almost a direct copy of the American pistol belt and from the US M1956 like the canteen, cup and carrier pouch.

    The most original design features were the use of simple web loops to fix pouches to the combat bel and the use of good quality carabiners to fix various gear.

    Here its some pictures of various orders:

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    These are detail pictures of the earlier and later canteens used with this webbing. The strap canteen carrier was usually used as a second canteen carrier dispensing with the cup.
