  1. Hi WD One of our FB memebers has posted numerous pics of a trials Urban camo uniform he trialed as part of the Berlin Brigade. He acquired it straigt from SASS. He has the Smock, trousers and the combat vest. Ta Jon
  2. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unusual-1960s-DPM-Combat-Smock-/180915242265?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item2a1f638519
  3. Very Nice and they are fat bugger sizes, but again post falklands and they have the tapes inside in white. Jon
  4. YeaH! READ YOUR BLINKIN MAIL...LOOOL
  5. Hi I have updated the Forces 80 Rat pack web Page http://www.forces80.com/ration_pack.htm Comments are welcome, have I missed any thing? Ta Jon
  6. No. There are no markings. I did think it may be non issue but the cloth feels right for MODand the stitching is too well done. Jon
  7. Found a near mint size 7 60 pat DPM and a weired hat in the same material. The hat but I have seen a picture of one somewhere. Below is the inside and then the outside laid flat. Trousers label. Jon
  8. We picked up a set of Mk1 webbing at Elvington for £5......Couldn't get the cash out fast enough. Nice to know there are honest traders still out there. Jon
  9. Ok...you rich; flash barsteward, whats the difference between normal 60 pat and Irish 60 pat? Ta Jon
  10. wdbikemad The ACF 1982 manual does not show or mention a DPM smock within its dress regs, I thought they were a mid 80's thing. Ta Jon
  11. ALSO please remember which is one main contributing fact and regulary forgotten THE ROYAL MARINES ARE NOT ARMY they are NAVY And the Navy precurred their kit seperatly from the Army and because of this they tended to have kit in service before the Army (Hilegs) and proberly prurchased fould weatehr kit way ahead of the Army.
  12. Reversables were indeed in the Falklands, A look through the 1982 dated cavandish Falklands series of magazines shows numerous people wearing them. A mortar crew springs to mind. Was it not the commando's taht had just completed a Artic excersie just as they left for the Falklands so still had all the artic kit. Jon
  13. Reversibles are ten to a penny on ebay, we got some years ago butthe tapes fell off. What is rare though are the pre falklands ones. The later ones which is the ebay one are easy to come by. Ta Jon
  14. I wish I could get that money for a £10 garment Jon
  15. yes I saw the post but as I said, due to a loop hole abuse it is either in effect or is about to come into effect, I wil quizz my source some more about it. Jon
  16. We refurbed our magazines and a rifle with black spray from a car paint supplier but I think the halfords bumper primer is the same. Jon
  17. I have been told that due to people exloiting bipod loop holes, all Machine guns from now on have to be welded up with No moving parts. how 100% true this is I am not entirely sure but the source is of sound quality. Jon
  18. Nice snipets, hows the project comming along, mines stalled and gone back to the drawing board Jon
  19. A Group of us went recently and most left feeling that they will not return as he had pushed his luck on prices for a few things. Lets say we had better deals of him in the past, and concidering he wants to thin things down due to closing and retiring in two years time, I doubt we will be adding any more to his retirement fund. But you may have better luck. Ta Jon
