Here is a WW2 British Parachutist Surgical Smock. Any reference on these? Does anyone a photo of one being worn? What's the value? Thanks.

these have been kicking about for years. a cursory check of the Manchester Trade Directories prewar , during and after confirm that this company never existed.

question

So is this sugical smock something they had during the war and someone but a fake label on it to make it paratrooper or did the smock itself never exist? Thanks.

Hi Jeff, the smock itself looks real enough.

If you take a look at the film Theirs is the Glory similar things can be seen in wear.

Cheers, Ade.
