British WWI Pattern 1908 Soldiers Webbing Equipment Set

A good complete set of the 1908 pattern webbing equipment, featuring a waist belt with various unit stampings and broad arrow markings, though no visible dates. Both cross straps are dated 1915, while the ammunition pouches remain undated. The large pack carries a 1918 date with an additional 1923 stamp, and the side pack is maker marked and dated 1915, featuring the broad arrow over 15.

The bayonet frog is dated 1918 with a broad arrow mark and is fitted with the ultra-rare webbing haft holder, complete with its original wooden haft. Included is a blue enamel water bottle with a felt covering showing minor moth damage to the rear, along with its original cork stopper. The webbing cradle is unmarked.

The set appears to have been assembled individually, with only minor shading differences between the various pieces of webbing. The only component missing is the entrenching head and holder. None of the parts have been Blancoed, making this an excellent display set for a World War I soldier’s mannequin.
