About this item
An original matched pair of British Army 1937 Pattern Webbing Gaiters made in India during 1942.
A huge amount of uniform and equipment was made in India during the Second World. It saw issue in the Middle East, Far East and Italian Campaigns due to convenient supply routes. These gaiters are an Indian made example dating from WW2 with all of the usual hallmarks that are found on Indian made items.
The anklets are made from a web material that is a noticeably different weave to their British counterparts. The brass work is also typical of Indian manufactured items being much more crude than was made in the UK. The anklets feature brass tabs to the end of each strap, the same as the first pattern of 1937 pattern British made gaiters.
The inside of the gaiters bears markings which are typical of Indian items. The 1942 date is clearly visible and the size is marked as 2.
The anklets are in good condition as can be seen in the pictures. They don't appear to have been issued or worn and display extremely well.
A good pair of wartime anklets which would make a good stand-in for a BEF mannequin or impression.
This is a vintage item which is 'sold as seen'
