question Smock

[Degsy]

The label reads Smock, Combat Windproof Mk2 (Modified) Woodland DP Ht 180 Ch 104 and has had little or no use also a Liner, DPM, MVP Ht 180 Ch 96 same condition. Can someone please give me an idea of value and whether there is any demand for these items .

The Mk2 smock is the redesigned issue Woodland DPM smock. These have the same features (pit zips; mesh lining, compass pocket etc...) as the current issue MTP PCS smocks. They are not super rare, but are rare enough to fetch a good premium over and above the standard issue smocks which you can find for next to nothing these days. In my opinion these are great, well featured smocks for general 'walting' and hunting, hiking, fishing etc. and so folks tend to go for them over standard issue.

 

Again how much something will fetch is a mystery these days. If you put it on evilbay and happen to find a couple of enthusiastic bidders you could get £50. I sold one of these a while back in good condition and in 180/112 for £40. I have seen them on evilbay for over £100 and in some cases they have sold! :nut:. A quick check on completed listings shows one that sold for £25 and another for £5. My advice is hang onto it. These are not made anymore and at some point even modern DPM will become collectable....

 

Your MVP liner is less rare and so less valuable. You may see £15 out of it on a good day.

 

Obviously the above is a guide and subject to my experience only - with some of the crazyness on auctions sites these days don't be surprised if you double the above price on the liner and get 0.99 for the mkII smock...:-D
