Indian-Made First Field Dressing

[BrodieBartfast]

Picked up this little oddity today. By no means uncommon, but a bit harder to find than British-made examples. Made by Bengal Chemical, and marked with a large and conspicuous broad arrow over an I. There is an ink stamp indicating a manufacture date of 1942, possibly 14th of July, though it isn't the easiest to read.

Very nice, and as you say rarer than the British version

[BrodieBartfast]

It has that rough look to it that most Indian-made items have, but that's part of their charm. A bit slapdash, but they got the job done just fine.
