Danish webbing M55

Good afternoon,
many times I have tried to find some pieces of this webbing in the European army surplus eshops (small and large packs, canteens..). But it is nearly impossible to find anything. When I searched at Ebay almost always the sellers of Danish M55 items were from the US. Is this Danish army webbing generally unavailable? Or I didn´t find yet the right eshop? Or the sellers are only small retailers that don´t have eshops?
Thank you for your response

Part of the problem, I suspect, is that the Danish components, like other NATO webbing components, are rarely identified correctly by online sellers. In general, Danish material is quite widely available on both sides of the Atlantic, but many sellers seem not to know that it is even Danish, let alone the pattern name or specific function. This makes it hard to search for online.

Danish webbing is widely available on German, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish websites.
Good deals turn up on E-bay from time to time, and Danish flee markets are drowning in old webbing from the now defunct mob.-store network.

Are you looking for M/45-50 or M/45-59 webbing?

Hello,
and do you know any websites (armyshop in Europe) where parts of webbing M55 are offered? For example when I would like to buy a Danish small or large pack M55 I don´t know any European shop.
I know there are some Danish items on the Ebay. But the sellers are nearly always from the US (terrible postage costs to Central Europe).

Ostravak, there is no such thing as "webbing M55". You are either looking for Danish M45-50 OR M45-59 webbing.
The might look similar, but there are several key differences between them (colour, fittings, pouches, carriers).

Danish webbing, model M45-50:


Danish webbing, model M/45-59:


Danish webbing, officers (and similar uses) late 1960s.



There is no real vendor (website or physical shop) that sells entire sets of either the M45-50 or the M45-59 webbing.
You need to be patient, look through eBay or similar. From time to time https://www.417.dk/shop/frontpage.html sell bits and pieces of webbing.

Thank you for your explanation and photos of the whole sets of webbing.

Hello,
please could you describe me how the gas mask carrier (the newer type, not the British one) is attached to the webbing M45-59?
Is it possible to carry the canteen + e-tool carrier directly on the belt?
Thank you for your response

To answer your question.
It is possible to carry the e-tool and water bottle carrier directly on the belt.
However, I would recommend (if you want your belt to last) to carry them as intended.

The M/69 gas mask carrier was carried in a number of ways.
But again you need to use the braces OR a pair or straps with carabiner hooks. It can hang directly on the belt with the C-hooks, but then there is no room for the poncho carrier.
