Sten, Owen bandoleer?

[GCG1964]

Hello Guys.

Posting photos of my seven pouch SMG bandoleer.
I have not seen one before in this style. Has anyone??

It is a strange beast as it uses large 'Newey' brass press studs, Australian type (striped) webbing base and Canadian or British webb for the flap and pouches. it has a stamp, 'MADE BY GROSBY' and also a faint Aust approval mark. Fits both Sten and Owen mags easily.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Graham,

I know this type as the first type of sten bandoleer, the book The Sten Machine Carbine has a picture of it on page 326. Its a rare type.
