I had a quick search of the forum and I can't see one of these. So adding it for completeness.
Sorry if there is already one here and I missed it!
As with most things in the Royal Navy they have a "Navy Blue" version of the cover for the Mk6 / 6a. The word "Regular" in the nomenclature is a reference to size (as we know some have the term "Medium" instead) and not that it is only for Regular personnel rather then Reservists.
This one is in mint condition but it did come from a RN warship currently at sea "somewhere on the seven seas"
I believe that the small label with the six digit number is the date of actual manufacture but this is not confirmed.
Regards
Mark
