Kelly, I can confirm with Ric, the most common and most unpopular P37webbing that comes out of the woodwork here in New Zealand is nearly always Canadian and unblancoed/mint. Unfortuantly or fortunately depending who you are we were issued horrific amounts of it from mid 43 onwards, prior to that it was mostly British which is much much more disirable down this end of the woods.
Its a bit like No4's , Longbranchs and Savages are as common as dog S..t here, but try and find a British BSA or Lithy and it takes time .
In the last 5 years I've probably sold at least a dozen or so Canadian belts on our own Trademe auction site ...well marked and always mint and the most I've ever got for one was about 30nz ...12 gbp. Canadian webbing is very unpopular down here, nobbody really likes the cacky yellowish colour it is which is very evident when mint . Id say most of the Canadian webbing here gets sold to reinactors or collectors that need it just as a filler untill they can find the nicely dated unblancoed british marked stuff.
Australia I'm pretty certain wasn't issued Canadian webbing and produced there own P37 Type webbing so it may not be as common
there.

After what I have read pertaining to Canading belt prices, the next one I list will most certainly be going on ebay!Last edited by Greg B; 03-02-2010, 10:08 PM.Comment
