French Commandos Marine Mag Vest

[skot44panzer]

Hello all, here to show is a nice item I've had in the collection for a while now.
Used by the French Commandos Marines in Indochine and Algiers.









I am well aware that there aren't too many about and but could do with some advice on the current value, as I plan to sell it as well as a lot more of my collection.
cheers

I'm extremely jealous, skot.

I collect Algerian War stuff, and one of the units I am portraying is Commando Penfentenyo, so I've been deeply interested in acquiring both a chest rig for sub gun magazines like yours, as well as their unique rifle grenade rig. Unfortunately, my wallet thinks otherwise. Awesome find, though. Would you mind snapping some more pictures? I would be deeply grateful. Cheers.

Hi there matey, yeah I think I remember seeing it. I've seen the occasional model same as mine turn up on ebay fr but in quite bad condition, but still fetching a decent ammount. guess it's all down to how much someone is willing to pay!?!
