Hi

There is somebody in Nova Scotia selling a Canadian shovel and carrier on eBay.
It appears to be a 50's era carrier.
The item number is 252866662483

Cheers
Greg

[Mikehounsell]

Thanks i just had a look at it the shovek looks Canadian but the carrier looks to be American due to the snap and the back of it looks to be a late production

[Mikehounsell]

The search is still on

[charlie fitton]

The shovels were dated 1953 C-arrow and stamped "NSF"

wore a lot of 52 webbing, but never got issued

I just found one of these E-Tools while going through my basement, I did have a few unissued 53 carriers also, but I think I sold them all, but I am going though boxes and bags over the next couple of days, I have several unissued 64 pattern carriers as well as a very nice 82 hard carrier

Nice set of 1951 Pattern Web. I am not sure how much of the set you intend to collect, but here are some images of the Binocular and Compass Case combination as well as Bayonet Frogs for both the No. 4 and FNC1A1 Bayonets.

Rob Love might know if his favorite surplus yard still has the binocular cases. I got mine there, complete with a 1942 set of Canadian binoculars inside. Haven't been there for a number of years now so for all I know that yard might have been annexed by Saskatchewan during a border raid.

[charlie fitton]

Show us this wonder-kit..

[Mikehounsell]

Here is a picture of the complete webbing kit my next task is to get the little things a infantrymen would have in their haversack in the 50s( have to research what they had for a kit) will upload a new thread in a week or so with some more pictures and some neat things i have learned about this webbing so far

[Ed Storey]

Nice to see a set put together. Here are some of the contents that could be found in the basic Pouches.

[Mikehounsell]

Thanks it is i like this kit its unique in a way. I have two bandoilers from the 60s but not Canadian also trying to find out of the housewife and the wash & shaving kit are the same as the ww2 aswell as the poilshing kit and every thing else that was in the haversack durning ww2

[Mikehounsell]

Also need to find the gas mask amd haversack for it that was used with this kit the list gets bigger

The 1951 Pattern Web was used for over two decades so contents within the various pieces will vary according to the time-period. As an example, the plastic Water Bottles had pretty well replaced the original aluminium ones by the late 1970s. Much of the mid-to late 50s and 1960s personal kit was wartime manufacture but the contents would evolve over time. Respirators were not considered part of the Pattern and are an ancillary to it. Several Respirator Haversacks and Masks types were worn in conjunction with the 1951 Pattern.
