Recently I started collecting PLA webbing and some uniform pieces, mainly items that were used by the PLA but also exported to Africa. I mainly use this items for African Wars reenactment covering conflicts such as the Ultramar War (Portuguese Colonial War), the Rhodesian Bush War and the South African Border War.
. Chinese Type 56 chest webbing.
This is one of the first chest webbing systems to be developed and was widely used in the Vietnam War and also given away to communist guerrillas all around the World from Angola to Rhodesia and it still appears today in many armed conflicts.
I got this former PLA chest webbing from China.
Note: repro AK magazines were used to fill the pouches.
