A superb pair of privately tailored/purchased WW1 vintage riding breeches as favoured by the officer classes of the period. Magnificent quality tailoring, in damage/moth free condition. One of the small ankle fastening buttons absent only. Would compliment a WW1 officer representation very well !
A very clean and damage free ‘narrow’ Derby Scheme recruit armband. Khaki wool band with red crown, tin fastening buttons, and good clear stamp details to the under-side. Moth free. A what might be termed ‘second phase’ band that was reduced in width to save on uniform cloth.
A wrist sweetheart tag made from a cap badge and period pennies. Crude in its execution, but not without character. A nice period piece.
Formation marking for the 7th Battalion Royal West Kent Regiment. A well used/late war re-issued ‘B’ pattern Brodie field service helmet, with blue painted formation markings as detailed above. The helmet has been period refinished and reissued with the exterior and underside brim refinished. The helmet rim band is absent giving the appearance of a first pattern helmet. The area where the rim has previously sat is visible
Hard to now find, full length (over 6 ft) single piece puttees. Earth brown khaki wool with some light inactive moth to the ‘beginning’ ends. Not a common item to now find in this condition.
A rare kit bag item, commercially produced ‘Trench cooking stove’. Burnable fuel blocks complete with a mini ‘pot’ stand. Pictorial box is complete, but is with some fragility on its joints due to the holding staples being absent. Such items were purchased by troops families and sent out to ‘the front’ in personal parcels contains food and clothing, to make life just that little more tolerable. A rare item
A very nicely made (probably post WW1 cottage industry, as most work of this type is), practical piece of trench art in the form of a lighter. A multi piece construction, in the form of a British service dress cap. Lovely workmanship. Sadly the flint holder is absent. Cap crown diameter, approx 5cms.
