Original 1942 Dated British Army 1937 Pattern Webbing Anklets- Size 3

An original pair of 1943 dated British Army Webbing Anklets in a good larger size 3.

This pattern of anklets was introduced in 1938 as part of the new 1937 pattern webbing equipment. These examples are a wartime pattern which could be termed as 'third pattern' as they were introduced following the previous two patterns which both had webbing straps. This pair have been blancoed with shade 61 Buff blanco which was used throughout the Second World War by various regiments. 

The inside of both gaiters bear the manufacturer's name as well as the 1943 date and the War Department broad arrow. Below is the numeral '3' which denotes the size.

The anklets are in good condition with only limited signs of service wear with some marks etc. Please study the pictures.

Altogether a nice original pair of anklets with a good wartime date and in a harder to find large size.
