That bites. I would be a bit upset to say the least. The patch might make me feel better a bit. Rich A. in Pa.

one set of Russian army issue Night vision goggles in perfect working order for ...£10....

Been told that Night Vision goggles are excellent at reading faint ink stamps on web gear, cloth and leather. Bought a childs version (but real night vision) for my sons many years ago for Christmas. Unfortunately the batteries leaked and they didn't work when I went to test it out.

Ok so here's the thing.... you know how the saying goes about busses??? how often does it turn out its completely true!!!
Just got back from a local Militaria show....and guess what I found!!???



Only....



The matching pair of TYPE A11 pants to go with the TYPE B11 jacket!!!

It just so happens....i wore it to the show.... to see how it fitted, and how warm it was......answer.... toasty!!!!!!...and then....... surprise, surprise!!
I came across a seller there, with mostly USAAF stuff...and he had a pair of TYPE A11 ......hanging on the front of his rail!!!...
Now...... if I had not have already got the jacket...I wouldn't have even looked at the pants!!!!

FATE!!!!?????

They are in a similar.... if not slightly better less faded condition to the Jacket...but still with stains, repairs and wear..
I was very happy to see the correct, original, stamped braces and leather tabs!!! all the poppers and zip's work too!!!....
The only down side...would be the size!!! a tiny size 30'.... but I guess.... you cant have everything!!!

Nice flight pants. The suspenders make up for the small size. Rich A. in Pa.
