WW2 British '39 Pattern Leather Officers Equipment Set

A complete set of the British officers 1939 pattern leather equipment which was designed hastily over one weekend & basically mirrors that of its 1937 pattern equivalent. Designed in an attempt to meet the equipment demands of a suddenly much expanded army it was only ever produced in relatively small quantities compared to its webbing counterpart with the last recorded manufacture noted as being in 1942.
It is very difficult to find markings as they were mostly ink stamped if at all & then just a broad arrow with inspection number. Shown where visible...
This set comprises :
1. Waistbelt- broad arrow & number
2. Pr shoulder braces - 1941 & broad arrow
3. Pistol holster - Faint marks
4. Ammunition pouch
5. Binocular case -JBB1940
6. Compass pouch
7.Waterbottle - broad arrow

All in excellent order with no rot to the leather it would be practically impossible to put together this complete set .
