fv1609 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 The winner of this will be presented with it at W&P. This is a collect only prize. I had this piece of military kit for many years & have decided I am unlikey to use it. It is somewhat aged & a small piece has broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
