Nice minty 3rd patt one Mate, the last mfg of these at this date as they changed to the 4th patt july 44 which differed in pocket design and size, has it still the gas flap I can't orientate myself on pic 1? Even some of the minty ones have the gas flap cut off.
I have a tub full of Army WW2 HBT's some used as late as Vietnam!
I think I'll need to pull out the tub to see what I have again!

Thank you guys, i glad you all like it.
It was probably lost in the mail, starting with a poor canadian mail service, slow customs service and slow portuguese mail delivery.
At least it arrived.
Cheers.

Hey Nuno this is what I mean about the gas flap.
"Special" on the label designates it to be gas protective
