Did you get them from the same source? If so that's impressive...I managed to source mine from a mate in the Para's...it's badged up as PF Platoon with Subdued OG American wings on the right pocket, very nice item but don't know the legitamcey of it... I got told some of the lads just wore them around camp as they were 'Alley' and not many about so I can sort of see someone possibly in the PF Platoon having one?
Yes,both from the same source along with a desert shirt. All 3 have traces of a DZ patch being reomved but the stitch marks/outline suggest whatever was on there is smaller than the std DZ patches,have asked the seller what it was and am hoping for a reply. Also asked the seller what the history was behind them and was told--They were used on several operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Peace keeping in Cyprus.
When I spoke to my contact, he said a order was produced for 3 Para when they went into Afgan, I don't know how many smocks were produced but they are identical to their Woodland smocks albeit Deset DP. I have a picture somewhere of a Tom in the field wearing his, it's group pic with other Paras. I will try dig it out.
I have seen on a website a while ago they were selling them for £50...it could have been SASS.
As I am not greedy and dont need 2 of these if anybody is interested I may possibly be tempted to sell one of these(not sure which one yet) so am open to offers-Thanks
IF I was to sell either it would probably be the one with the subdued wings which is labelled as an L which I would estimate to be a 44 possibly 46 chest,other is more like a 42""
