I found this 1970s radio pack and was curious to know more about it.
The pouches have dates of either 1973 or 1979.
Any information is appreciated.

Re: Unknow 1970s british radio backpack
It's a carrying frame for the Larkspur A41 tactical radio system. It was originally designed in the 1940's and was the Choice of tactical comm's until it was subsumed by the Clansman radio in the late 70's early 80's. You can do a Google search for pictures of both frame and radio.
Here's some info:

Re: Unknow 1970s british radio backpack
Thanks very much.
How much is something like this worth do you know?
Re: Unknow 1970s british radio backpack
They have gone for anything between £8 to £15 on Ebay quite recently. If you were to get it from a dealer they ask around £30-£40 or thereabouts.

Looks like the webbing is derived from 58 patt gear. I have one for the Clansman PRC 351/2 which is quite similar.
Re: Unknow 1970s british radio backpack
Thanks for the quick reply.
I am currently selling it on Ebay for £10 starting bid so glad to see my pricing is right and I did see one in a military surplus store a couple weeks back for £25.
I got the thing many years ago from an ex serviceman who carried the thing, shame I can't remember his name.
