1951 pattern webbing
Kevin,
I have been collecting 51 patt. webbing and have never been able to find any reference books other than Jack l. Summers book Tangled Web which started me collecting Canadian webbing.I have the following items; The web braces,left and right;  The waistbelt;  The haversack (smallpack) and L straps if worn in place of the largepack;  The largepack with cross straps and L straps;  The entrenching tool and carrier that hooks to the top web tab on the largepack or haversack;  The canteen,carrier and folding cup;  The basic pouches;  The 2 piece mess tins and carrier;  The gas mask bag,instruction sheet,anti-dimming Mk 7 and gas mask.I don't know what the designation is for the post war respirator is but the cannister is dated 7-10-53 and the rubber facemask is marked NORMAL CA 60;  The 3 piece cutlery SILCO 1952 with a C broadarrow stamped in them;

The mine probe and web carrier;
 The Mk 2 helmet was refitted with green chinstraps like the karki ones of WWII issue,there is also a different style chinstrap below;  The Aladdin thermos and carrier;  The housewife and contents and a ration bag;  The K. V. DETECTOR L.1A.1 whatever that is ? dated 1955;  The wool blanket that was kept in the large pack dated 1951;  The No.4Mk1 rifle sling and bayonet frogs for the spike and blade bayonet;  The sling and bayonet frog for the FN C1A1 rifle;  The sling for the Sterling SMG and cleaning kit;  The officers webbing,holster,lanyard,braces and compass pouch.There is a binocular case in 51 patt. green like the karki WWII one but I haven't found one for sale to buy yet!

I also have a great interest in p51 here are my pieces so far
  Also have one of the illusive gas mask bags, missing the straps though sadly.  Also have the wrong canteen, but am getting the proper one soon, but one cool thing about my plastic 1q is that it is Canadian, pre 1962. still yet to get any belts and straps for a decent price online, and haven't had a chance to look in shops but will be going next week.

1951 pattern webbing
Hi Lee,
I can get the left and right L straps here in Winnipeg brand new if you need a set.There used to be boxes of brand new unopened 51 pattern webbing but somebody must have showed up and bought it all years ago.There are just the L straps left.I will have another look around just to make sure.Are you interested in completing a full set of webbing? If you are in Calgary,look up Ribtors warehouse if it is still around,they also had a bunch of 51 patt. webbing.Not too many of us out there interested in the post war webbing. Regards,Derk.

Also, question about the canteen, Is the gasket inside cork, as the US model it was based on or is it rubber?
