The WW2 Canadian Army P37 Cheaters Brace Attachments Pair consists of two original brace attachments designed for use with the Pattern 1937 (P37) web equipment set. Issued to Canadian forces during the Second World War, these “cheaters” were employed to provide additional suspension points for the webbing braces, helping to distribute the weight of field gear more evenly across the wearer’s shoulders. Manufactured from brass or steel and fitted with a webbing loop, each attachment features the standard P37 fittings compatible with Canadian and British-issue webbing. These items were commonly used with the P37 entrenching tool, ammunition pouches, and other components of the kit. The pair exhibits the characteristic wartime construction methods and materials employed by Commonwealth equipment manufacturers. Suitable for completing an authentic P37 web set, these original brace attachments are of interest to collectors, re-enactors, and researchers focused on Canadian military equipment used during the Second World War.
