Re: parachute bag found in a barn in the south of holland
It is most definitely a reserve chute worn on the front- I mean the pack for a reserve, as the suspension lines and chute have been cut away. It was probably left intact by the paratrooper after a successful landing with his main chute and someone took advantage of the lines and canopy. At some time, I venture to wager, there were lots of these strewn around Holland.

Yeah this is definatly a reserve, and they havnt changed a great deal either, i use one almost similar to this when i jump, my last jump being 17th sept at Dz x nr Arnhem this year infact. An awsome find, well done

Yeah Reserve Chute.
The two clips fasten to two D Rings on the front of the harnes, The Px4 British Chute I used when I first joined is very similar as was the old type reserve.
The top set of D rings for the reserve and the lower D Rings for the hooks attatched to your container.
