Bootsale this morning

[Spitace41]

Just picked this 1943 dated great coat and this 1949 Patt BD with REME shoulder title up for a fiver The coat is a bit battered and the moths have had a bit of a go at it It is nicely marked however. Does the broad arrow in a C mean that it is Canadian? As a bonus when I looked through the pockets this armourer's trade badge came out! Its been a good morning

I am so jealous of the stuff you blokes find in Europe.....gotta start going to op shops and markets down here to see whats about.....

[SteveR]

Uh I really like the way the field blouse fits the model. Nice buy by the way.

Yes, Spitace41.

The broad arrow in a C is the Canadian acceptance mark.

Nice buys.

Cheers,

Spitace, i cant believe you got your girlfriend to model the coat, i asked my wife to wear a replica Herman Goring tunic once but it was too tight on her !!!!!

Nice GreatCoat and BD blouse Spitace, both in fairly good condition as well.

Ive told you before Dave, your wife is aware of any ulterior motives you may have............thats what happens when you are married for any length of time, unless you're a lucky so and so like Ade with his other half Lesley!
If it's any consolation, my wife is the same, (we've been married 22years this Thursday just gone!) She's got no objection to my hobby, but she objects to being a model for me

Regards etc

Nice mannequin!!!! :d

[Spitace41]

Cheers guys. Yeah, quite lucky actually, my gf will not only model uniforms but is also good at spotting trench art, cap badges, medals etc. Sometimes even buys them for me

All the wife buys me is shelving and flat packs which i have to assemble, i ask you, these hands were made for collecting not diy!!
