Splinter FJ smock.

Looks like a very early 3rd pattern.

Can we see the eagle ?

Hi Steve,

I disagree. Perhaps a 43, but I doubt "very" early which I'd put at mid 42. I'd like to see the bird too.

I put it at late 43. Have seen some dated 10-43 exactly like this one.

You are right...I should have said "early" not "very early". I think it is the type that immediately followed the "splinter over olive" 3rd patterns. 1943 sounds good. I had an identical one once. It also was only size marked.
I understand the eagle is blue wool and factory stitched.

Best wishes,
Steve

p.s this is the one I used to own:
