Is this a original 37 Webbing?

**Bavarian** · 01-26-2020, 01:09 PM

Hello
I swapped 2 month ago some british stuff for US stuff and this webbing was inside
The belts and the enfieldpouches seem very dark for the 37 pattern like a olive
The other stuff were the right colour for the 37 Webbing
Someone have written on one Belt US-Army
The revolverpouches were dated 1943
All Enfieldpouches seem used
The haversack is partly stamped like some of the pouches
The entrenchingtool were mixed by the blade is made 1941 the carrier 1943 and the stock 1944

2 of the straps seem unused like the unstamped Bayofrog with the heavy used Bayo
The stenpouches have a fastrelease one made by ABL
One of the straps have a dark green part added
I dont know what I exactly have and need help

It seem mixed

Is it original WW2?

I am thankful for all information about this webbingparts

It all appears to be original, from what can be seen..
Some bits have been played around with (hand-written Army marking), as you know.
The dark green colour is good, wartime Blanco equipment renovator.
The rifle cartridge pouches - commonly used by non-infantry arms, such as Artillery crews. Nice to see used examples of these, as most seem to be unissued examples.
Various shoulder straps, including an Indian made example (Bata).

Nothing much to worry about there.

These were introduced, on basic ammunition pouches, very late in the war and very few made it through the supply system before the end of the war (though the quick release system can be found on many other items that saw earlier, wartime use).
