Vintage 40's portable paraffin room/tent heater/stove. Mmm, toasty! 
Chest Eagle and Litzen for my M40 Tunic, just got to get them sewn on and get a helmet cover for my skid lid and I can come out to play.

Just got a few things.
Small pack with L-straps (anyone got a guide as to how the straps are put on?)
British 2 man tent
Hopefully you can see on this pic:
then the two metal hooks loop into the top brass on your main webbing pouches to hold it all in place.
Hmm, that looks a lot like the pack that was used by the Dutch well into the 70's (to be replaced by a rubberized one that was used with the same old webbing deep into the '80s).
What pattern webbing is this? I wonder if it matches the whole set from my old Dutch kit.

It's just a standard '37patt small pack. You're correct; Dutch ones (usually a dark bluey-grey - sometimes incorrectly sold over-here as "RAF") are near identical copies

The greyish blue ones are in fact Dutch Airforce kit (KLu) 
Army (KL) used olive green.
That's good news, should I ever consider going Brit. I'm halfway there. I should have a '50s Dutch wool jacket somewhere that's pretty much identical to the Brit WW2 pattern and I have a 1943 stamped helmet as well
And a German mountain anorak (still blaming Seanebabes and Stof 
)
Oh and a bolt action springer G98 (apparently), until I get the two inches cut off to make it a K98.
Luftwaffe M43 ski cap with M43 Cap Eagle/Cockade for myself (small start, but it's a start 
) and a Kriegsmarine U-boat Senior Officer Visor Cap as a birthday pressie for a friend who is addicted to Silent Hunter 
A mint, unissued 1944 dated US GP ammo bag and strap and another 24 hour ration pack.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
More bits from Derby carboot:
Raincap/Groundsheet, near-mint unissued (only slight storage marks), green 1954 dated.
'58patt backpack, '84 dated, used, but hardly any signs of wear and looked to be unissed at first glance.
£6 for both!
