P58 Mk.1 Early Version Rear Pouch Green British Cold War Era *Rare*

Vintage British 58 Pattern P58 Web Equipment REAR POUCH, Version 1

Made of heavy-duty cotton canvas. Each compartment measures approximately: 7.5" wide x 7" tall x 3". It may be attached to a belt up to 2.5" wide.

This is the 1st variation of the P58 web equipment. This has a few different characteristics than the later version. The 1st issue has stiffened sides to the pouch-lids and the 2nd issue does not. Both issues lack an upper connecting strap and set of "staples" and tabs.

This early version is very uncommon and highly collectable.

GRADING CRITERIA

Used Good: This is a good deal if you don't mind cleaning and making a few repairs.  Expect pieces to have various markings such as service members names and numbers, written or painted on. Some pieces may have tape, minor (repairable) damage such as small tears or holes, frayed edges, loose stitching, corrosion/rust on hardware, and possibly missing a clip/hook or straps. Pack may be missing lower straps and/or hooks/clips.

Used Very Good: Will exhibit less wear; expect pieces to have various markings such as service members names and numbers, written or painted on. All hardware will be intact to include hooks, snaps, clips, and straps. Some pieces may have tape, minor tears or holes, frayed edges, and minor (if any) corrosion/rust on hardware.

Used Excellent:  The best condition available. All hardware will be intact to include hooks, snaps, clips, and straps. Expect pieces to have various markings such as service members names and numbers, written or painted on backs or inside of pieces BUT will NOT be visible as worn. 

Most of this equipment has seen extensive use. It has been in storage for 20+ years and will probably need to be cleaned.
