RAF Observer type parachute harness

RAF Observer type parachute harness

Code: S22665

SOLD

Stores reference 15A/144.  A standard 'Observer' harness for use with clip on chest-type parachute packs.  It is of genuine RAF/British manufacture rather than the more commonly found Canadian version and has the fully rounded quick release box (QRB).  Cream/white webbing with a central pale blue fleck.  There are various marks on the webbing including 'OBSERVER, 15A/144', faint war department broad arrow marks on the risers and a 'two letter' code on most sections.  The webbing is in good undamaged condition but a bit soiled through normal use.  The QRB and other metalwork are also good.  Fitted with a pair of connector 'rings' at the back for attaching a dinghy pack (not included) and an war department broad arrow marked backpad.  The harness will require adjustment at the shoulders to suit the wearer.  A very good used example of these increasingly hard to source harnesses.  Stock code S22665.
