BD BLOUSE P37 DENIM for review

[valoche]

Hello guys

Is this an original example of a BD Blouse Denim P37?
Thank you for your help to identify this blouse.
No buttons - No label. What mean A2 stamp?

Hello Val,

Yes, this is an early-style Pattern 37 denim blouse. It is very common that the buttons are missing because they were removable for washing. But there are two of the original brass buttons still on the tab for the waist buckle.

I cannot tell you what the large A-2 means, though. I have never seen such large writing inside a blouse like this.

Hello,

I'm not 100% sure but the A2 can be a Belgian (who also used BD) size stamp.

Best regards,

The A2 is indeed Belgian size marking. This BD was reused by the Belgian Army.
