Morning fellas.
A work colleague has unearthed these in the back of his locker.
He was “issued” them along with a CWC G10 by a friendly QM in the mid 90’s whilst deployed with British troops in Bosnia.
Although both issued they are quite different.
Spring bar buckle strap is about 5mm longer.
Has 1 8 stamped on the underside of the buckle.
The keepers are shorter spaced.
The 12 holes are over a shorter spread.
The heat seal has a waffle finish texture on the inside of the third keeper.
The colour is what I would describe as the classic issued admiralty grey.
One piece buckle strap has 18 mm stamped on the underside.
wider spacing for the keepers.
it’s 12 holes are over a wider spread.
the heat seals are all smooth.
There is a slight olive hue to its greyness.
Can I ask the NATO knowledgeable of this parish for any info they may have.
They are obviously from two separate contracts and maybe different suppliers.
Thanking you in anticipation
Keep safe guys
