Good evening everyone,   While cataloging and packing up the collection, I came across these 3rd Pattern Trousers with no leg drawstrings. These are the only ones in my collection like it, and I have not been able to find anything on the web about variants with these missing. It could be custom tailored, but I have no idea. I figured VietnamGear would know but there isn't anything like it. Here are some photos with tags. Please ignore the dirty floor in places!    Thanks, Hayden

This is a really cool helmet and just has that been there look. Sadly we don't have the vets name just the info that was on the tag affixed to the inside.    Scott

Thanks for the ‘heads up’ re lighting. When I got the lights installed,  was assured that the fluorescent used was exhibit ‘safe’. Most need to be replaced soon anyway, so I’ll ensure that whatever is used is correct. Cheers!

Lol! I wish I’d thought of that.

The glass is surprisingly clear. Nor quite as good as the German equivalent, but still pretty good.

And if you look further down the line - you’ll see the British Assault Vest equivalent: The Assault Jerkin.      

Complete (ie without pockets/tie downs cut off) assault vest. 29th Divisions flashed M41 jacket is period original.        

Some very very nice pieces in your collection, love the way its displayed too. Love the Jungle first aid kit, and the NZ knuckle knife. The binoculars are very nifty for the size, my granddad traded for his and continued using them long after the war before handing down to me. 

It has a MK-525/G headset-microphone kit. It checked today. 

Here's one being worn, sometime in 1955, 3rd Mad Div
