All comments welcome. Cheers.

Hey Gill,
Great pack! The 'YA 7747' stamp reminds me of signals equipment markings. Are the fittings brass?

Hi. The loops are magnetic, suggesting they most likely iron? There is a clear joint seam where they have probably been made by hand. The buckles and hooks are none magnetic (silver) and possibly a brass alloy?
I will investigate Signals Equipment. Thanks for that. Regards, Gil

Could it have been used for carrying a tent of some kind? ... Or something along those lines ?
I'd love to know more if possible. As I'm stumped.
Cheers.

I think that YA stamp present on the straps doesn't denote purpose of the pack, but the strap by itself. Identical straps were used to carry WS38 radio over the neck.

I have something very similar....... but very modern (circa 2000AD) that was made for carrying coiled ropes for beach assault?
