    Is it just me or is that only a three quater zip on the front? There was a Norwegian maker at the time whose sailing foul weather kit was de-rigur, if I can ** remember the name! These look very similar. They were a lined PVC. The proper oilsking was black with buttons, and your name stenciled on the back. As little Nozzers it was allowed if the PO was in a good mood , to flap your arms as you marched, made a very loud crack as arms hit the sides, ah, from this distance happy days!

    Yes, but that wasn't the nylon 1970's windy. The oilskin was a PVC jacket, wind and water proof but you sweated like a radiator in them, so ended up soacked anyway. They eneded up going down the line to cadets and recruits.

    I'd ring Farnk Jolley, I've got his system on both Dodges and have nothing but praise for them.

    Commercial gun cleaner will do the job. Then use a wax to protect the metal. Wax is the recommended preserative for any metal blade as well. Linseed oil for the woodwork. I have used Black lead grate polish, or the modern equivalent as well, that gives the metal a nice finish.

    The old hoar about cart sprung Landys, they breack you long before you breack them! The only time I've ever seen them go over was with the application of stupidity., and over the years I've off roaded them in a quite extreme manner. Avoid going on extreme cross slopes and it will stay upright. Although there is the classic paniced communication 'The Rover's over, over' The only ones that really need treating with care are the Ambulances, especially the 101 version. They do not like any side tilt.

    Germany was famous for tin plate and metal toys. That suggests late 20's early 30's from the basic design. Any name or marks on it?
