excellent ,thanks mark and rene' for your assistance
First for the new year
very nice composite rene' ,i love your diverse collecting tastes
New ones Canadian cap 52, and British scarf/beanie approx 43/44
Nice additions Rene there are a few of us currently discussing the scarf/beanie on a different forum would you be kind enough to measure the length and width for me and maybe take a couple more pics as there were two different variations that were issued to British and or Canadian soldiers alike.
Regards Mark
