    This is teh only smocj i've ever seen with this zipper but it is original to the smock. So whilst you are spot-on, there is always an exception to keep you guessing Laughing

    I stand corrected Dave, and Graham, your smock judging by the colours is one of the later 1990's ones Smile

    Hi Tommo
    I picked it up second hand from Duboras in the mid 90's because of the wings attached to it as they look Rhodesian I had intended to take them off the smock and add them to my Rhodesian collection, I was given a Mint pair of Rhodie wings, so the wings never got taken off the smock Im glad they stayed on the smock now I dont know why the Rhodie wings were put on a DPM para smock maybe the origional owner was ex Rhodesian army and had joined the British army at the end of Rhodesia.the photo is of the wings deffo not British
