Nkomo Posted March 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2009 Wnet to my local surplsu shop and found a few items today. Nothing spectacular, but some neat stuff none the less. The first item I picked up was a 1990's parachutist harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted March 15, 2009 This came with the parachutist harness. Perhaps someone can identify what this is for me. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted March 15, 2009 Also picked up this Blackwater Omega VI Elite Dropleg holster that was used by a Marine while deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan. This would have been used in the 2004 to 2005 time period. Also comes with a Vega Holster retention laynard and a Spec-Ops brand trouser belt. Was also able to pick up some ACH/MICH goggle retention straps and a nice WW2 cot. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch, Good scores.Hard to tell by the pic but I think its some type of lowering line or strap to secure the rucksack to be dropped.I have one from an 82nd guy and cant remember exactly what he called it.

RD Ron, Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking that the strap may have been for a bag, but wasn't for sure. Thanks again! Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker502 Posted March 15, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 15, 2009 I think thats a lowering line for a ruck sack. I could be wrong though..Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orko Posted March 15, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2009 This came with the parachutist harness. Perhaps someone can identify what this is for me. Thanks in advance. its definitly a lowering line, the looped end is routed through the X that you form with the H harness on the alice pack and clip end is routed behind the 1950s weapons case, attached to your D ring. the yellow tab it designed to be able to cut away your equipment should there be trouble in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
