WW2 British 1939 Pattern Leather Equipment Set

A set of the British 'stopgap' 1939 pattern leather infantry equipment complete with the rare entrenching tool carrier dated 1940 that is almost impossible to find .
Set comprises all of the components photographed including the 1940 dated largepack with both of its helmet straps. Examining the set one can see the maker mark & date of ' B.H&G1940' to straps of the carrier as well as 1939/1941 dates to each of the L straps respectively. Rear of the pack has markings to a Private from the Suffolk regiment . Other faint markings do present themselves with rear of both pouches bearing broad arrows & 1942 dates.
Overall excellent condition & a rare opportunity.
