Hi Guys, these shirts came in both long and short sleeve versions.
I bought this one many years ago for £2.50 I bought it off a guy in Birmingham who advertised a load of items for sale in the old "Exchange & Mart Magazine", most of which were British Civil Defence. So I went over to see what he had. I also got a Luftwaffe Officers greatcoat and a British BD blouse from him. He would not put values on anything, just kept saying "Make me an offer". I hate making offers, but I will haggle on a price. After asking him a few times to give me an idea on the price he still would not, he was starting to annoy me, so acting stupid, I offered £2.50 on each item and he took it! This was about 1980.
The shirt came without shoulder straps, so I added a pair of HBT flak piped straps as I don't have any tropical ones yet.
The size of this shirt is very large.
The quality of the breast eagle I think is superb.
Cheers, Ade.
