Rarest LA Stingray in the world?

[R3XXY]

I was cruising eBay searching for an olive green Lowe Alpine Sting, when I stumbled across this little beauty.
















For some reason someone one had cut out the storm flap at the top.





So it was off to Lancashire Sports Repairs to have one fitted, I took along another one as a reference so they could get it to look as it would have been originally.

Then got a couple of black Karrimor PLCE side pouches off eBay, and it looks as good as new.






My geek-o-meter is going off the scale!

I don't know about you guys but I've never seen or even heard of one of these in black.
It's going to be made into a bug out bag.

Peace

Think they were issued to the Dutch Marines. Seen a few on eBay in the past.

Ah well I still love it, good low key colour in case of a zombie apocalypse/**** type situation.

That's the same seller I got mine from, the auction had a Best Offer option, I offered him £150 and he took it.

An awful lot of money for a second hand rucksack but not many about and looks totally different from the usual green and DPM.

I know a guy who has some spare side pockets for these if you ever need any.
