A very good condition pair, of ‘08 pattern webbing field used cartridge pouches. Most fittings are present and in working order (popper studs should be treated with respect and care & one belt securing tab is missing, this I have marked clearly in the images). Pouches have been period ‘pea/mid’ green blancoed, with much of it worn off, and are as such, a good colour match pairing. The
A superb condition other ranks, ‘denim cotton’ soft cap, sometimes latterly referred to as a ‘Trench cap’. Superb damage free condition, with good shape. Leather chin band in matching condition with some slight age wear cracking. Held in place by two small brass GS buttons. Interior in matching condition fitted with cloth fabric. Good clear WD and issue stamping, and with some indelible pencil detail (again see
The top half (emblem) of an “Old Contemptible’s Association” memorial garden plaque. Heavy cast bronze OCA ‘badge’ complete with and rear fitting. The fourth image shows the ‘finished’ lower arch of the emblem, where the memorial plaque once was, either now broken or deliberately removed. Sadly the ‘fixing arm ‘ and lower name plate has been cut off. The lower rectangular plaque would of carried I believe
Not sure where and how to start to describe this item, its the most unusual helmet in terms of its liner that I have ever encountered. Standard Brodie, that I consider to be a ‘B’ pattern with the rim lost/absent with the ‘tight’ weave hessian type cover. Four panel standard cover held in place with a tie cord. The cover has at some time had a formation
A very, very good condition Hudson whistle produced/issued 1918. Standard Hudson marking with good clear date and the subdued ‘anodised’ finish correct to this year of manufacture. This particular whistle is the best of its type I have had to offer. Because of the change in manufacturing material for this year of manufacture ‘it’ was prone to corrosion. This example is corrosion free and with 95% plus
A good WW1 other ranks uniform grouping to a trooper serving with the RGA, consisting 1902 pattern tunic, mounted breeches, artillery bandolier and shortened (third full length Fox) leg puttees. Tunic is in excellent damage free condition worth only a couple of areas of storage moth. Tunic has brass RGA shoulder titles. To both sleeves bombardier chevrons, gun layer sleeve qualification badge above above the right rank
A very nice clear dated 1908 pattern webbing water bottle cradle. Blancoed possibly only the once, with most now worn off, showing as a faint ‘green’ hue and a tad grubby. Late/post war top fastening Interior is with very good, very clear make details and date 1918. Rear facing centre strap with a number marking (see images). A nice untouched item, being an item now hard to find
A good large size belt. In very good used condition. Blancoed period ‘pea green’ with much of it worn off and the belt looking slightly grubby with use. Maker and date details too faint to read. All fittings present.
A group of three WW1 vintage dressings. Dressings include cotton wool and two types of bandage, all contained in their original packets of issue sand with varying WD and date markings. Extremely rare items. With the conclusion of hostilities many surplus items were sold off for ‘private consumption’ to include vast quantities of medical supplies such as this. Having ‘survived’ the war certain period items like rations, certain
A very good condition 1914 gift fund Christmas card that accompanied all gift tins etc. in time to be distributed before and up to Christmas 1914. Some slight age and storage marking, and fragility to an area of the card spine.
A superb, pristine condition example of the 1914 gift tin. Tin is dent and damage free, with 99.9% of all original gilt finish remaining. Tin is firm and sound with the lid a little stiff; the corners are firm and split free. This is as new and as it would have appeared when presented in 1914. Recently found, new to the market. Would be very hard to better, and
A good, grubby untouched example of the iconic 1914 gift tin. Tin is fundamentally damage free, with some wear to the gilt finish, with the lid being generally grubby and untouched, due to storage, with an area of ‘age blackening’. Tin edges and especially the corners are firm and split free. My own opinion (for what its worth) is that this is one of the most iconic collectables
