✅ SOLVED British wood frame pack

[nagant]

B&B brand Yukon model name and slogan is ALL BRITISH. Seem i had a pack with this frame before, maybe military but this has no Mil markings. I think the B&B is for Brown and Best. the tag side

Here is a link showing the patent on the frame.

The patent is 1924 but if you read the comments you'll see several people who bought packs like this in the 1970's.

No indication that it was ever for military use.

Not Brown & Best.

Brown Best & Co, - Luggage makers in the 19th C. Apparently invited to supply an Everest expedition in 1953.
