WW2 Parachute Question

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

a friend got this parachute.

 

The harness is stamped with Relliance MFC Co May 19? 1943.

 

The parachute has only a small stamp with May 1959.

 

He means the harness was used from a B8 Bomber Crew in WW2 and the parachute is used after the ww2

from the german Military.

 

Could that be?Or what exactly it is for a model?

WWII Parachutist

The pack and harness assembly appear to be a standard B-8 rig and the chute looks like a postwar modification. The canopy looks like a postwar foreign made example by the weave of the suspension lines and the sewing details.
