Pack, Small, British, Based on Battle Jerkin
Extremely rare genuine WWII British small pack, tailored in the brown canvas material of a battle jerkin.
Introduced in the British Army in 1942 and initially designed as a substitute for the multi-part 1937 Pattern webbing equipment, the assault vest combines the various cargo capacities of the latter in a single piece of gear -- a small pack for individual belongings, a specific compartment for the entrenching tool, some ammunition and grenade pouches, not to mention special sleeves for the spike bayonet and the machette. Additional items such as a holster or a canteen could be attached onto the waist loops.
Very good overall condition; a pair of buckles has been sewn on the back to attach the shoulder straps.
