This example is manufactured the less common and lighter weight 'chocolate' coloured plain weave duck canvas. It is complete with all the webbing grab handles, rip-cord flap and rip-cord handle housing. The label is war department broad arrow and Air Ministry marked. The pack is a little grubby in places. There are also a few loose stitches where the grab handles are attached and one of the small inner 'corner flaps' is partially torn (see photos). In good to very good used condition overall. No ripcord, canopy or bungees are fitted but it does have the original metalwork for attaching to the harness. Photographed stuffed with bubblewrap for illustrative purposes only. Extremely difficult to find. Stock code P14179.
