This issue harness was originally to be a back pack. Never had a chute sewn to it. I converted it to a QAC gunners harness by the addition of the D rings. These are sewn into the risers and can be removed quite easily. This harness could be turned into a T-5 paratrooper model with the addition of the pack tray assy. The brand is Switlik Company and the date is 4-42 on the harness and 4-43 on the backpad.The padwas issued to a LT. Geo. A. Fredrickson . The stock number I cannot quite make out. Notice that it has the early twist lock clips which were discontinued due to simpler designs coming into use. Harness is dusty and musty with some soiling by carbon? This came from the B-24 training base at Tonopah, Nevada.
