Ok, I finally got it in the post, and I'm feeling pretty good about this one. After taking some pictures and zooming in on the label which is weirdly placed in a sort of extra pocket seen into the pocket lining itself. I can definitely make out a hand written date of ??/10/39 and also the promised colonels initials. I can make out 'Col.C.M.B???' And also what looks like a service number. And there are also a few traces of printed black text on the top of the label which I cannot make out. It definitely feels like the right quality also. It has been lined with a sort of soft silky material on parts inside the pockets and Button holes. And looks to show its age as it has been repaired. I do not know wether the buttons are war Time, but all of them apart from the ones holding the epaulets are made from a hard rubber material, and have a design printed on them, there is also possibly a makers name printed on the back of them, which psd only suggest this is made bespoke. The epaulet fasteners are made of bakerlight I think with metal pin like things holding them in place. The epaulets themselves have a few holes where insignia has unfortunately been removed. Those ate all the signs i can see to suggest this could possibly be an early war example. Could anybody help me out with this one as I'm a bit stuck. Also does anybody know the pattern name of this type of BattleDress blouse as I can't seem to find much information on them
Thanks Stan
