Help Needed - Round Container Packs

[mace1288]

Hello All,

I am looking for a round parachute pack for the FJ drop containers. I have the square version, but can find few good pics of the round parachute packs. Does anyone have clear pics of any of the correct WW2 versions?

If anyone has one for sale, please contact me.

Thanks in advance.

That type?

Thanks for the pic - much appreciated!

That's the one I was looking for. I have seen another round pack model with rectangular slots in the outer bag for the securing ropes to pass through - this one has round slots. Does anyone have clearer pics of this model?

Does anyone know if the rectangular slot model is wartime or postwar?

Hi mace1288
Did you get my answer to your PM?
The slots form is only due to if the raisers are canvas staps/belts or if they are round raisers. Both wartime
Best Jan

Here´s a couple of wartime packs

Wow! Great pics Jan, thank you.

I have not seen a wartime example of the rectangular strap version - only the round strap version, hence the question. Very, very helpful thank you. Just got your message and will reply now.

Thank you for the extra pics Gran Sasso. Could I ask for one more pic of your container bag if you have time - one of the slots in the bag for the parachute straps to run through to clip onto the container.

Many thanks again
