The G.G.H stamping on that holster may very well actually be G.M.H Ltd - General Motors Holden. They produced a lot of webbing equipment. It certainly does look like a G instead of an M though. Lovely example of the vertical pattern of weaving on that holster. Very characteristic of Australian produced webbing. Besides stamping, the vertical pattern is an easy way to identify Australian made webbing.
I used to live in a town that manufactured into 37 pattern webbing and parachutes 🪂 they used flax the old sheds they used for the manufacture are still standing being used for the local menshed in boyup Brooke WA
Always wondered what the felt canteen cover was for. Bought one from a disposal store as a kid and was annoying to find no belt loops or clips, so I improvised with scissors and zip ties.
Interesting, that US manufactured M56 ammo pouches is first type ones (pre-1961 M56). What contract year they are? Also, I have british late type (1943+) undyued suspenders with markings, that I can not explain: "W - broad arrow - 27". Can you explain what it means?
As I remember the US made Australian marked M-1956 was all produced in 1961. I'm not sure what you mean by suspenders, do you mean the braces for the 1937 Pattern web equipment?
@@RiflemanMoore Sorry, I mostly in US Army\USMC\KL\Italian ww2 themes, so terminology that I use sometimes non-correct. In this case I mean P37 braces (aka shoulder straps).
@@dutchcoldwarhistory5036 Yeah. Koninklijke Landmacht on mid-coldwar period (1960-1970th) Also searching for experimental 1975 and 1977 uniform. Have both type jackets in collection, but have no trousers yet.

The Australian issue nylon vertical weave belts were introduced post Vietnam war. Circa 1980.
