RAF Observer type parachute harness

SOLD

Code: S22745

Stores reference 15A/137. 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. Cream/white webbing with a central fleck. It has the fully rounded quick release (QR) box but no label. There are various marks on the webbing including A.I.D, serial number and faint King's crown Air Ministry stamps on the front riser straps. The webbing is in good undamaged condition but is a bit soiled through normal use. The QR box 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 unmarked backpad. The latter has two replacement strap studs. A very good used example of these increasingly hard to find harnesses. Stock code S22745.
