wdbikemad Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Went to the Solent Overlord Executive show today...at the new location in Waterlooville, Hants......nice new site and although a small show, some good finds.... I managed to find a near-new 1960 pattern olive drab British combat smock in a size 5 for only £12....... Followed by a new 1978-ish DPM sniper smock for £25.......... Then a brand new '68 pattern DPM smock also in a size 5 for £20.......... And a pair of Korean War 1st pattern olive drab combat trousers for £15....... But the real find of the day was a brand new set of DPM shirt and trousers in a large size .....but the very, very rare trial pattern of the Soldier 95 kit still in use today, complete with all labels......£20 the set.... Worth going to this weekend if you get the chance....and I did leave some finds behind !! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglehurst Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Great finds Steve! Some photos would be great... Is the Sniper Smock in old sizing or metric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Great finds Steve! Some photos would be great... Is the Sniper Smock in old sizing or metric? Sniper smock is a size 1......so pre-1980-ish..... A guy there had several green 1960 pattern smocks and trousers.....used condition but good....no large sizes though..... Another stall had a small pile of new and lightly used DPM 1968 pattern early-1970's combat smocks and trousers.....sizes 3, 5 and 7........smocks at £20 - 25 and trousers at £15..........didn't buy them as I have too many already in the hoarde...! Several DPM windproofs, para smocks (saw an old '77 version in a size 1) plus an early '70s DPM aircrew smock in near new condition in a large size that was missing the label but cheap......again, didn't buy as I have several already.......
