Rifle Drop Valise

[SteveT]

Not knowing too much about British gear, what can you tell me about this? I think I understand the 44th AB ( Indian) and REME but don't quite understand the 'work shop (?)....Are these around or is this a somewhat rare piece?

Regards Steve T

Hi Steve, these are not common by any means. Nice example.

They even fake these now.

Cheers, Ade.

The lettering simply means 44th. Airborne worksshop REME.TA Nothing to do with the 44 Indian airborne. There was no TA units in the Indian Army. John.
