You're right about the M16 & binoculars being A-Team items, but I haven't a clue about the other peices, does the clear gun glow in the dark?

no i did try holding it under the light for a few minutes then enclosing it in my hand but it didn't glow which was a bit of a disappointment.

The block with the dials is from an Action Man SAS Parachute attack uniform. Its the chesty bit that goes into the face mask. It also is the front of the chute harness.

I'd say it's original early 80's fare. It could be 40th reissue but because of its condition I'd say original. The Para attack is a VERY sought after uniform. The binoc's don't look to be AM, they are too small I reckon.

Hi All,

If the chest piece has metal inside it then it is from a Action Man diving kit. I think it was a lead block (great for the kids!) which weighted it down. It connected to a helmet via a tube and the back pack by another tube.

All in all a pretty good kit but if not then as Chopper says it is the para kit.

Cheers

i dont think it is 40th like you say due to the condition plus a lot of the new stuff is different to the original's, especially the Action Man Soldier, have you seen how bright the camo is on his trousers :shock:
i think the binoculars are A Team like thundershot said mate.
