To the reverse upper edge of the holster is a date marking 1916, on the front securing strap end is a maker marking and date 1940, indicating either salvage corps repair or re-issue. Very nice overall condition.
A rare example of a Royal Navy WW1 vintage ‘working dress’ Petty Officer service cap. Excellent used condition, showing slight wear and now a little grubby. The peak could do with polishing as its now dull with slight age verdigris. Interior with matching wear. Cap body moth and damage free. Cap badge is of very high relief as is correct with this vintage cap and insignia.
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.
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
