I've been collecting since i was 7 Tommo. I've always had a good sized but varied and mostly ever-changing collection.
Since I moved back from the French Alps in 2006 and no longer get to hike and climb much, I decided to get my motorbike licence and have sold the collection off to fund that addiction.
I've also found that good items are much harder to find now and cost a lot more than I was used to paying so the thrill of the search paled for me. I am of limited funds and time.
I have some '60 & '68 pattern stuff as well as stuff from my time in green back in the early 80's as well as some WW2 windproofs and a very rare olive green '63 pattern SAS windproof still to clear out. Some 1959 Denisons. Probably other stuff too !
The only things I would like to get are a splittertarn 1956 jacket and a DPM '63 pattern smock. I've had several of both but would like to get hold of a set of each as keepers now.
Cheers,
Dave
