British Airborne Finds

[Z19]

Just picked this stuff up today from an old guy on an ad call. I've never even thought of collecting Brit stuff, but this helmet is so cool I may just start!! More pics will be coming soon. Enjoy, Alex

Hi Alex,
That helmet does look cool -- any date stamps in the leather?
Also, can you give a closeup shot of the blouse insignia?

I'm not enjoying the insignia on the BD blouse yet, do you have close ups?

I wonder if the old guy was a reenactor ? Rob

The net also looks a bit of an oddball, I think better pics of everything would be helpfull . The 2nd pattern Smock looks interesting having knitted cuffs added.
