Denison smock, 1961...info please

**Reg** · 11-03-2011, 04:53 PM

Hi All

I have literally just bought a 1961 Denison smock in very large size with majors crowns, para wings and a pin Tavr badge pinned to the inside left Brest pocket from an antique shop in Abberystwyth whilst out delivering, I've not told er indoors yet, but I've always wanted a Denison, and it was a good price, but in used, salty, been there and all other clichés condition

I will try and post some photos tonight when I'm home, time permitting.

It does have a marking I'm not familiar with though, on upper arm, three
horizontal colour bands about 7cm long, maroon top, black middle and yellow
lower
Can anyone tell me any more about these please

Thanks and best wishes

Looks like the date could be 1951. its very worn, I think its 38in chest and its not as large as I thought. Pleased to have one though, even a post war. Any info on the markngs would be greatly recieved.

Thanks for looking.
Best wishes
