He has read my Pm, but no reaction or change of the sale offer so far, so...

(also nobody would get fooled by those repros I hope)



Edit: he just got back to me the same minute - what a coincidence

Yes a copy, next number up from my one.

Hi Patrick and David
+1 I agree it´s a repro harness and pack tray.
Very few original RZ16 harnesses + pack trays survived until this day, as most were converted into RZ20 "K" harnesses
with quick release buckles, probably right after Crete with the horrendous FJ losses in the dropzones, trying to get out of their RZ16 harnesses.
(I know you both know this, it´s just a little knowledge for any newbees should wonder what became of all the original RZ16 harnesses).

Best Jan

And two numbers down from my Rob replica... I did manage to get all original items to place inside. I have a RZ20 K in early can and that was an added plus since I bought it almost sight unseen.

Low down dirty shame someone would attempt to pass off Robs werk as genuine.. Thanks for posting!
