Thanks to the Eagle Eyed internet skills of Geoff Truscott, I am now the proud owner of an NOS C42 Set Field Pack complete with correct NATO Stock Number, 1964 issue. It even has that delightful smell of anti fungal spray that seems to have been used a lot on canvas back then. Reminds me of the boxes of Canadian Bush Jackets that used to be at Westbourne Supply many years back that were grey white in colour because they were coated so heavily in the stuff. Didn't seem to matter how often you washed the jacket, if you stood in the hot Sun for a few minutes, you started to smell like a dry cleaning shop!
Love it!!!
