I have been after an R.E. for a while, so was glad to get this one.
Made by Hadfields Ltd 1916-19, with an 1939 dated liner.

I looked for a long time before finding this. It’s marked for T-99 LMG ammo (which can also be used in the 7.7 rifles). It held 840 rounds and a small piece of one of the 15 round box labels is still stuck in the pitch that was used to seal the seams and knots. 840 rounds translates to 56 15 round boxes of ammo like these pictured.

Hello.

I would be really interested to understand the evolution of naval dirks’ patterns since 1873 until 1945. I’m looking everywhere but it’s really hard to find detailed info about this argument…

Images, different patterns, destinataries, ordinance, links or websites to see …..

Everything will be really welcome.

Thanks to all !

Dan

PS : A fantastic thing could be a new path "evolution of …" by Nick Komiya, but I can’t really hope so much… :p:p

OK, someone get Mr McWhirter (RIP) on the phone as I foresee a world record number of posts to the following…… I predict that there won’t be as few follow-up posts to this thread since Nazi McNazi posted something about a TR item in the semi-finals of the “All-but-Nazi” Competition (Non-Champagne Decal Class) on “National Non-Nazi Day” in No Third Reich Hereland….

I’ve been looking at NON-MILITARY carrying solutions adopted on the British Home Front recently and realised that this topic is overlooked by most and yet the variations seem to be numerous and in my opinion need to be pulled together and catalogued….but what do I know…..

First, a structurally beautiful Pigskin cylindrical holder. This one’s in great nick and I think the design is stunning….

Next, a more common handbag….with a secret…….

…now I know there are more out there….”leather”-covered boxes, bags, haversacks, holdalls, cones etc…….. but remember…it’s all about the CONTAINER, not the mask / respirator……

…oh and how about having pics WITHOUT camo netting in the background…just for a change!!

PS and if there’s no posts within a month I’ll stick some Runes on them and try again…….I only mentioned "Pigskin" to screw-up their searches!;)
