Thanks Graham.

I can rest easy,now it's all complete

How did I consistently miss this thread?!?
Great sets that everyone's posted up!
Gary, is there a variant of British gear you don't have in your collection yet?
Although one can never have too much kit!

No worries Mate...


Let me see, what don't I have in my collection, I'm still in the process of trying to catorgise it all ( yes I am that much of a Geek, I 've even created an Excel database )

Thing is Ben,I'm so finicky ,I start collecting one era,then get bored ,start on another,come back to it....I give myself a headache sometimes...I do have more 60's /70's era kit to show..I just gotta dig it out of storage

You've done what I need to do... I'm starting to accumulate enough kit, that I actually do have trouble remembering exactly what I have and where I put it.

Hey Ben , Good evening Mate,it's not often were going "Live" on the forum

The amount of kit situaction was doing my head in ,so I thought one Sunday,I would start to work out exactly what I do actually have hence the ,data -base


Yesterday,I found a 37 pattern large pack,and a fairly rare gas mask bag in the bottom ,of my wife's wardrobe...now I have to add these things to my database...god,where will it ever end

I hope your wife doesn't accuse you of stowing your stuff in her wardrobe due to a lack of space and try to stop you buying more gear!
I wish I could go rummage and find something else I forgot I had. I guess in due time, that'll be a possibility.

Nah, mate,she understands my storage area needs,actually she was the one who said that she has found a couple of bag's in her wardrobe, of course my eye's rolled,thinking "here we go again" more crappy handbags she forgot she had,and it turned out to be my crappy bags instead..yippeee bonus..forget I had them

Gary,
Thats great...funny too. It still amazes me that people forget they have all this stuff thats been secreted away somewhere. I'm sure that a lot of collectors out there have a similar story they can tell.

Cheers,
Ben (the other one).

Thanks Ben.

I reckon we've all got kit stuffed here there and everywhere, especially if like me it's not just in one area...

What I'd really like to find some day is a box of cash...now that would be a good day

Tell you what Mate,you have a look about your place,I'll do the same ,let's see what we come up with.........

I might be able to scrounge up some loose change recovered from between my couch cushions to contribute to the fund.

I'll see your loose change and raise you some cookie crumbs....and a pen lid.


Cheers,
ben

Very nice Mark,very nice indeed

Good job the MOD did away with these spades,and introduced the little fold away jobbies,I know what I would prefer to hump about

Keep your collection comin'!!

That is a nice set of 58 patt an yeh i rember those spades they used to be bloody horrid when you sat down an yeh the pick was horrendous lol

If you are still after any 44patt,37patt or even 58patt please get in touch as over the years i seem to have somehow hoarded a fair bit of it-DAMMN this collecting lark is seriously addictive!!!

Nice set there Gary,now you will have to find a set of EARLY 58ptt

Very good point Rich, some of this set is mine from the Army, the rest was sourced from Surplus stores to complete the set.

Most of it dates to the mid to late 80's, well spotted that man

The early stuff is very collectible and hard to come by.

Yoke,large pack,ammo pouches and waterbottle carrier are slightly different to the later more common stuff.

What regiment were you in Gary?

R.C.T,what period Gary if you dont mind me asking?

As for the early 58 patt- i have a few bits over the years but have now given up as its so rare.

What i used to do is buy sets of the damn stuff in the hope that there was an old patt bit with it but not much luck and the downside is i now have around 7-8 sets of the damn stuff
