Thanks to Steve for this 58 pattern webbing rig ,all the dates are leaning towards the late 80's and the water osprey canteen is dated 1990 also on the rig is us water canteen which further backs up the idea of its use ,due to the problems encountered with the sa80 it was still not uncommon to find the l1a1 slr rifle still in use even with some front line troops during desert storm /op granby .ive done some research to back this up including information provided by a former desert rat

the rig is complete and all parts of the webbing are signed to the same soldier

Cheers paul

the bundesheer camo is the closest ill get to owning something resembling ss camo ,thank you also matt

can i ask what dates you can see come in at on yours and please post up your set here ,id be interested to view it ,i was surprised to see so many late 80's stampings on these to be honest ,i think the latest is 1987 the back pack is an earlier vintage of 1979 and i still need to figure out how to attach to the webbing ,im sure by the late 80's the plce webbing was well into use by then

Those desert boots in #91, i think they are the type that fell apart when the glue melted in the heat, a pretty poor bit of kit!...

**James C** · 08-30-2015, 02:42 PM

oh dear ,thanks for warning me paul

ill keep them stored away from the radiator this winter ,im suppose to be saving this stuff for future generations ,by the time they get these they wont even be fit for flip flops

Yeah good old English liquid sunshine here and I see someone wrote his name on the backstrap as did someone on mine, or a whole lot of people the kidney pouch has a name I can hardly read on also.
