ehrentitle Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) I was at a thrift shop on base today and came across an unusual bag with Arabic markings which had a tag that said Iraqi Army Backpack. It looked a lot like the British Pattern 58 Webbing converted for Iraqi use. So I bought it. I know nothing about collecting this kind of stuff since my collecting interest are in US and East German. Is there any value in this bag and would anyone know what the Arabic says on the white tag? Also any idea what it may have been used for? Thanks.

ehrentitle Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 It all depends on the seller and the buyer 25-45.00LorenzoLorenzo, Thanks. You confirmed what I thought. I've seen a couple of British Pattern 58 Webbing bags of this type on UK websites in the 15 Pound range so I was figuring about $30-$35.

Tony Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I was issued 58 pattern webbing some years ago, and in training there were a few bits of 37 pat. webbing knocking about. There's probably so much of it around that the prices are kept low, not being German doesn't help with the investment either, I'd like to find some 08 webbing at those prices.That's the first 58 pat. Iraqi webbing I've seen though.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I taught ROTC here in the US shortly after the first Gulf War. Back then we had a lot of prior service Cadets and many of them came in offering to give me Iraqi kit, like canteens, bayonets, web gear, uniforms. A good deal of it was either British or Soviet issue. I turned it all down as I had no interest in it at the time. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
