Hi all picked up this strange DDPM grab bag the other day...
... it is unlike any issued item I have seen!!??(see pics with issue item for comparison)... Afghan copies I have seen on here ...are similar ... but even they don't have all the features that this bag has!!!
The top flap is fitted with a huge YKK brand green zip!! and also has a black plastic clip 25mm made by national moulding... the three mag pouches also have these clips..as well as the Velcro.. the two frag grenade pouches only have the Velcro?? on one side is a strange lined pocket with a twin position popper..(for perhaps a knife, small flash light ??) the other side has molle webbing... the rear has another flapped pocket.. and a waist strap..with quick release clip.....the main strap also has this and a stitched loop halfway up the strap???!! I noted that a lot of modified SF stuff is covered in quick release clips!!??..... there is also an id flap on the front (has "FOZ" for Foster.. the squaddies name..... under that is a clear name tag window!!???)more usually seen on deployment bags and such!!!!
it has a singular drain grommet in the bottom of bag itself only ..none on the mag pouches!!??
seems like a lot of work went into making this!!! or if it has been modified.. its been done very well!!!
anyway it fits nicely in the collection of my other grab bags....(see pic)
your thoughts please gents....
