Some recent British finds, and some questions, Part 2!

The first pic of the Arktis S692 seems to be malfunctioning, here it is again, hope it works now.




And then a pair of Pecoc camo kneepads.





Arktis C113 sniper trousers in Desert camo.

Found a few more ISPL pieces to go with the vest from before, getting close to a full set now, I think there's just 2 or 3 pieces that I'm missing.
No idea how the double pistolmagpouch attached to the vest but it could be worn on a belt.






Then a National Plastics NP9 helmet with Mk6 type liner, this came from Dutch trials. The handwritten tag being very similar to what came in an RBR F3 helmet which was also a trial item.








And another NP9, this time with a Riddel type liner.

Not entirely British, but it does have a few Warrior made pouches, and I suspect this Paraclete RMV came from UKSF stocks.
The Coyote Tan utilitypouch on the side and the OD commander's pouch are the pouches I mean, the rest is a mix of Eagle and Blackhawk stuff.

More WAS stuff, old type holster and double pistolmagpouch in green.

More stuff to post again!

Arktis notepad cover.





Black Horse arm adminpouch.






Arktis green S690 ghillie, used and filled up with all sorts of materials.







Kombat pants in Dutch DPM.






2 Different models DPM Camelbaks.








Another Camelbak in DDPM, early type.






Green Arktis 42 Chestrig with extra slipon pouch on the shoulderstrap.

Another absolute rarity, old pattern Arctic Windproof trousers, Falklands War type.






Boonie hat with weird tag, commercial? It does look old somehow and was used aat it came from a pile of used surplus.







Arktis B221 Kommando smock in Desert camo (Dutch used)

DDPM large rucksack cover.





Arktis C121 sniper trousers as used by Dutch marines.

British made body armor cover from Bristol, but made for Germany.







Another pair of Arktis C113 pants, this one in Dutch DPM, apparently they come new with the holster not sewn on.

L.P.O on label could be for Local Purchase Order and the order number instead of a contract number.

Normally find that on things like power tools or coffee machines etc these days in the work place and then an NSN that reads
4 numbers followed by L0 and some more numbers, usually shorter than a standard NSN.

Thanks, it would be interesting if that's what it is, I don't have anything else with something like this on the label

More new stuff.

First this Berghaus waterproof MVP smock, British NSN, no contractcode, but came from a Dutch marine.






This chestrig might be British but I'm not sure, no labels or markings anywhere, again Dutch used.





WAS late type folding MBITR radiopouch.





The one at the bottom-left is British, the rest is Dutch.






A tactical vest from Use/Service Sports.







A sealed filter from Avon, would fit S10 masks too but this probably came from Dutch stock so would be paired with an FM12.






British made riflesling, probably from Dutch sniper issued equipment, as many of those things all tend to have this same tag.





And some boot liners.

Added 2 more things to my collection again. First a PLCE hip protection pad.






And then a very old para baret, slightly later than another I have but should still be about mid-70's.
It also has different edge trim than the other, it has some sort of fabric folded around the edge, whereas the other had leather.





And later today this vest came in, it's either from USE Hereford or HM Supplies, some details like the entire layout and the cut of the pouchflaps
seems like USE to me but then there's the weird zippered shoulderpocket that I have seen on HM stuff before.
It has a modification on a utilitypouch where a piece of material with 2 snapbuttons has been added, I don't know what for.
There is still an FFD in 1 of the grenadepouches, and a random piece of metal wire is attached to the right shoulder, and it has some
sort of strap that can either be stowed to the inside with a little piece of velcro or folded outside to hold whatever it was meant to hold.

The sewn on press stud bit looks like a portion from the back of the bayonet frog (likely the DPM version), and
might possibly have been used for that, possible the tuck away flap thing that can be inside or out is for
keeping the frog from flapping about if fitted if it folds out by the pouch that stud bits fitted to.

The metal clip might be for the drinking tube on a camelback or other similar hydration bladder to keep that from
swinging about as well in lieu of any other visible obvious means of securing it from what I could see in the pictures.

Got some British made stuff again, though for Dutch use.

Arktis B226 smock and C121 pants for Dutch marine corps snipers.














Then I found a single glove from a desert camo TICS sniper thermal oversuit.





The green pouch might be British, not sure though, it's similar to Dutch pouches for the Kite and Munos weaponsights but I don't
know if green ones were a thing here.





And yet another Arktis piece from Dutch marine corps use, a combat shirt with a quite thick material used for the torso, and I
haven't found out yet what model number this has.

Damn, finding this trial PLCE85 shovelpouch took a very long time!
Now if only I could find the gasmaskbag too....






And I also got this hippad, no markings other than a label on every small fastener strap.






And an ISPL utilitypouch for my vest set.

Yet another variant of the Arktis M171 chestrig type, this time in Flecktarn and with a sewn on holster and elastic pistolmagholders.





Then something that isn't British made but was used by the SAS in Afghanistan and Iraq, a Paraclete SOHPC platecarrier.








Another Arktis chestrig, the 45 Pattern type with 5 magpouches, in Desert DPM which I've seen just once before.





And the last item for this post, a Tetranike GA4 helmet, which could have been from Norwegian stocks, eventhough it looks unused.

Very cool stuff as always.

Thanks!
A lot of luck and searching is involved to be able to show them

Found this vest in a pile at a shop last week, turned out to be meant for a close protection unit, there's pics of this same type in khaki on guys guarding (then) prince Charles in Iraq.

Found a DPM UBACS last week, couldn't pass it up.
