Hi All, I thought I would share my little LRDG representation with you ...
The most interesting item of the lot is the sun compass quite obviously based on the Bagnold type this beastie is made from a mortar sight I guess by some ingenious soldier that had more use for a compass than a mortar ?
Also note the Lemon Squeezer Hat I found this bashed in as pictured as they are so often seen in photographs of NZ LRDG troopers.
Close up of the Brass badge
Close up of the Cloth Title
I have seen no photographic evidence that the LRDG used the ME type commando knife however there is some suspicion that they did in fact use them... the other is an NZ made fighting knife.
