British P58 Mk.1 Early Version Canteen Pouch – Rare Turnbuckle Closure, Cold War Surplus

Vintage British 58 Pattern P58 Web Equipment CANTEEN POUCH, Version 1

Made of heavy-duty cotton canvas. Each compartment measures approximately: 4" wide x 3" x 7" tall tapering down to 3" x 2". It may be attached to a belt up to 2.5" wide.

This is the 1st variation of the P58 web equipment. This has a few different characteristics than the later version. The 1st issue has a turnbuckle that secures the pouch-lid, and the 2nd issue does not. 

This early version is very uncommon and highly collectable.

GRADING CRITERIA

Used Good: This is a good deal if you don't mind cleaning and making a few repairs.  Expect pieces to have various markings such as service members names and numbers, written or painted on. Some pieces may have tape, minor (repairable) damage such as small tears or holes, frayed edges, loose stitching, corrosion/rust on hardware, and possibly missing a clip/hook or straps. Pack may be missing lower straps and/or hooks/clips.

Used Very Good: Will exhibit less wear; expect pieces to have various markings such as service members names and numbers, written or painted on. All hardware will be intact to include hooks, snaps, clips, and straps. Some pieces may have tape, minor tears or holes, frayed edges, and minor (if any) corrosion/rust on hardware.

Most of this equipment has seen extensive use. It has been in storage for 20+ years and will probably need to be cleaned.
