    This is the proverbial carrot in front of the nose. Are you going to offer any part of this treasure to us poor members in need?

    It's a place in Calgary that sells lots of junk. I have a box of front bren utility pouches that came from there with the exact same label on the box. I'd be game to trade some of the pouches...or some unissued 7 3/4 liners for your 7 1/8 ones.

    Lorne,

    Your liner is on the way, I threw in a couple of spare minty water bottle corks. Never hit the field with out a spare in your small pack. Work nicely in the end of the PIAT as well. :-)

    Thanks alot, I'd of bought a few more but my money is tired up in some other iteams right now. Any chance you might have a spare dome pad and bolt to finish the liner off? I've got a couple of shells I'd like to finish off. Thanks for the corks too, I actually needed one for a canteen.

    Hey Lorne,

    Glade it got there and it's as expected. Post up some photos of your lid when you get it together.

    What a haul!! I once found a box full of unissued 1943 dated Mk3 basic pouches, I have been giving them away ever since, but nothing this cool.
