Head Gear Collection

[reneblacky]

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

G'day Mark Cheers Mate,
I've lined it up with my British 43 dated one (bottom) which is 73cmx21cm and the new one measures 65cmx22cm let me know what you find.
I have to add that the British dated one is much more course

Thanx Rene I will drop you a link to the thread as soon as I get off the road tonight or in the morning .
We are having a bit of a debate over the two different variations and whom they were issued to.

Regards Mark
