Never seen this smock before, thanks for the link, Steve .. Brown cloth used for pockets makes it very interesting for collectors. Would be very nice to see close ups of the eagle , it really looks period attached .
Just curious what was the price on it ?

I believe he said £16.5k. Eagle was good. It sold immediately.

Interesting smock , would go well with the nice DD m38 they had earlier this year , wonder if it came from a UK collection ?

Nice smock with character!

It's a big world out there, and know there are many nice items in very old collections where the collectors picked up items locally and kept them forever.

An example was a local collector who recently passed away. I am new to this area (less than 6 years) and only saw the guy at a very small local 80-table show 2 times a year. Now I see the items he had. Weapons related primarily, but he had some amazingly rare and interesting items.

Steve,
there must be a small fortunate community in UK for salty items. Perhaps not really fellow collectors , either investors. I consider this smock a bit overpriced .
He sold also quickly a SD M38 with 50% of his color for £6950.

Must be many a fine collection not seen on any forum , these are stills from another Regimentals video of not long ago of a UK collection ( all credit to Dan there , some really good stuff in them - a good one at IWM London recently ) ...

Does the use of flight suit material for the pocket flaps on the thread starter smock suggest that it was a first pattern step in modified by the addition of pockets?

No. The exapansion pleats sewn into the chest tell you it was made as a 3rd pattern.

Interesting, thanks.
