Which Side Release Buckles are Compatible with Karrimor SF Packs?

[The Cumbrian]

Does anyone on BCUK know which type of side release buckles are used on, or are compatible with the small side release buckles used to fix the side pockets from a Sabre 45 to the yoke, and where to get hold of them from?

Cheers, Michael.

I assume you want the male parts of the buckle? If so, this listing will give you 6 of them for £3.85 and free postage http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USED-BRIT...Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item2ed2c15310 If you look around you may find them cheaper....

Thanks for getting in touch, but I'm actually looking for the female parts, and some more buckles the same size too. I've found a place that sells a couple of different brands, which I'll visit on my way home from work tomorrow.

Cheers, Michael.

I'd go for ITW buckles if available

Are they compatible with the Karrimor buckles?

I've just looked at all my Karrimor sf and PRI stuff and all the buckles are just marked "Woo Jin", but they are all also compatible with all the issue PLCE stuff I've got; hope that might help some...................

Thanks everyone, I've sourced a supplier.

Any chance of a linky? Always good to know where to go for such things

Remind me this time next week Mac; rather selfishly, I want to get my own first before I spread the news.

Cheers, Michael.

One of the surplus shops in Catterick sell the buckles. I found them on the net a year or so ago when I was looking.

For anyone who's interested, I got the buckles (and a few more odds and ends) from Contact Left in Formby. Is an Alladin's Cave of a place, and I just about managed to leave with the contents of my wallet intact. They have a great range of stuff and really friendly service. Chatting to the owner, he said that he stocks much more than is shown on the website, so it may be worth calling if you're looking for something esoteric.

Cheers, Michael.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know

They are ITW Nexus Classic SR 25mm buckles if memory serves, standard buckles used on military kit.
