    BSG Greatcoat ?

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone can help me date this winter coat - has shield stitching on left shoulder (but no sign of arch above). It's in awesome condition, almost un-issued I'd say. No sign of having had shoulder-boards either.

    Yup, that's for sure BGS. Probably 1960s. Check the inside left pocket for a label. If it's older there might be an ink stamp somewhere on the liner. Usually these coats are well marked.

    I've seen a few unissued ones on the market over the years.

    Depending on the age, yours might not need an arc. However, there's a couple of different eagle/shield badges that are age sensitive, therefore if you want to add badging you need to pay attention to the details.

        yes, 1964 contract. There should be traces of eagle on the sleeve, even if unissued.

          Ah! For some reason only the first picture showed up for me when I responded.

          Yup, 1964 for sure. You are looking for a bevo badge sewn onto green felt. At least I think that's the correct one for this coat. Definitely no arc above it as that wasn't introduced until something like 1972. I can't ever remember the exact date!
