The name I remember is "Signals Satchel". I remember them as part of the kit for the C42 radios in the 1970s. The ones we used were green or tan, but likely were wartime or Korean war production. The headset and handset were strong but also fragile. The radio operator was supposed to disconnect the plugs and wind the parts together for storage.

Similar to "Signals Satchel No 2".
However, the regular No 2 has the partition running front to back in the middle, not side to side... and does not have that additional tab hanging down at the back. So... not sure, sorry. Tim |

Webbing Bag
In order for your web bag to be Communications related (Mine Detectors also) there is usually (but not always) a ZA part number stenciled onto the bag. In this case there must be another piece missing as the bag should have two small buckles sewn to the bottom in order to receive the shoulder straps, but there are none which would make wearing this bag in lieu of the Haversack very difficult. I have attached images of a 1937 Pattern Haversack to show the strap arrangement.

The photo is from the working instructions manual for the WS58 Mk I*/T dated 30 March 1944. The tab at the bottom should actually be a loop that the waist belt goes through. You can see it also attaches to the side of the radio. The pockets in front of the battery box are for stowage of the cable assemblies. Bruce |

Wendel.
It looks like there were at least two Canadian makers of these Wireless Set No. 58 Battle Battery Bags. One version is like the one you own. It has no manufacturers marks on it at all, other than the very large C Broad Arrow stamp on the cover, and the two small cover straps end in brown lacquered tips. I took some photos of the version I own. It is undated, but came in an NOS 58-Set Kit, the major components of which were all manufactured between 10 August 1943 and 2 February 1944. The Kit must have been assembled at some point after February 1944 from available part stocks, so my Battle Battery Bag must date from the latter half of 1943 to the first half of 1944. It was made by ZT&A Ltd which I think is Zenith Tent and Awning Limited and bears their stamp, the ZA Part Number and a small C Broad Arrow Stamp on the inside of the bag lid. The same huge C Broad Arrow stamp your bag has, is also stamped on the outside of mine, overlapping the lid and front of the bag. All the canvas straps on my bag have brass tips riveted in place.. There are no partitions at all inside the bag and the shoulder strap has no markings at all on it. Hope this helps. Cheers, David |
