Nothing overly special here....'standard Post Wardens lid..... but I took a flyer on what might've been a sliced-off curtain but as I'd hoped it was screwed up behind the liner headband.....and with a little help from a hair dryer the warm air made it supple enough to unfurl. Now all I've got to do is decide whether to warm'n're-fold or leave out (probably to get damaged!). The curtain is dated '39 and appears to be marked "AW"......'might be somat else.....
'always a challenge these...does one unfurl or leave screwed up as it was found.....but was it's furled state how it was at the end of the war?..had it been in and out post war?...and IF I decide to re-fold it will anyone know anyway.....errr....apart from you lot.....doh!
...nice find tho......
Lovely addition, Adrian. It deserves to be displayed just as you have it now - unfurled. The trouble is the amount of extra space it takes to display it.
Thank you.....and you're right....but Confucius say "one unfurled MkI curtain equals three non-curtained MkIIs in height"......although there may be a translation issue there.......
that is a fantastic grouping

two things....welcome!!....and I haven't a clue!...but someone will...and they'll be along shortly
Did anyone else see the $1,000 MkII sell recently?.....sadly I neither have the number nor did I lift the pics (sorry...but if you saw it on Ebay you'll know).....it was sold as a Beachmaster....with a painted badge to front.........nearly £800.....
'not one for my collection (or wallet!!!) but wondered what you military types thought.....

....I'm getting good at this double-posting lark......'only wish I knew how I did it!! - soz (as young folk say)
Here it is, and no I didn't buy it !
I find it hard to believe any MKII is worth that much, but maybe I am in a minority.
