pattern 37 Large pack

[The woodpecker]

Hi mates,i just received my 1943 made pattern 37 large pack.I need your confirmation for its originality.The webbing is ''stiff and stick'' with all braces mint.I noticed though that on the rear there are no braces in the two straps.I search the net and i found some other large packs without the 2 braces on the rear too!I'm not sure though.Your help will be appreciated.Many thanks

what's your opinion for the rear tabs

[NCA]

Nice pack.The lack of brass tabs was just an economy measure...needed more for shell casings and the like.

Nothing to worry about.Sometimes you will also see steel hardware in place of brass as welll.Sometimes a mix of both too.

any info for the full name of the manufactor will be welcome too

it seems logical to sacrify a brass to produce a bullet which logically would cause a hostile loss!!
