Having given it much thought, I've decided that due to ongoing ill health, I'm going to be selling up all my airsoft kit, including the WW2 gear and weapons. It's saddening but they won't be getting used, and the funds can go towards other hobbies that are do-able. I'll start seperate threads for Weapons, Gear and Uniform

XL Set of Repro Denims, in very good condition - ideal for warm weather war-softing.

Believe that these were originally from SoF, but cannot be sure. They have exposed buttons, and the trouser pockets left 'open' as per the late-war type.
They are currently a mid/leaf green; original denims ranged from pre/early-war brown to late/post-war olive green, and virtually anything in between.

Blouse - Original 'flat' repro utility buttons have been mostly replaced with original/NOS 'domed' types (repro buttons included as spares). Supplied roller buckle has also been replaced with a 'zinc'd' british toothed-type, and again the spare is included. All buttons held in place by authentic brass split-rings, and therefore removable.
Arm length and shoulder width are good, fitting "48-"50 chest with a shirt and thin wooly under. Waist fastens up to around "40-"42 (depending where the 'beer burden' is resting ! )
Trousers - Exposed buttons on map and FFD pocket. Slash pockets, with 'vent' though to inside. Fasten to around "40-"42, but in wartime 'high-waisted' style, so difficult to state exactly as depends on 'physique' (see 'beer burden' above).
Will include a repro 'Home Guard' armband with the above Free of Charge !

£80.00 for the set

Great Coat -

War-Aid Great Coat, in L/XL - slightly tight on me so around "44-"46 chest. Reasonable condition for age, some mothing in places but nothing that should detract too much - good, solid condition other than that. Currently has an almost full set of Corp of Military police buttons, which I believe have a value in their own right, due to their scarcity (needs 2x 25mm buttons to complete, if memory serves).

£45.00 - SOLD

Leather Jerkin -

Wartime leather jerkin, in L/XL. Average condition to the leather, some scrufs/damage, commensurate with age/use. Stitching has been repaired around the shoulders, and will probably require further attention; it is, however, perfectly usable 'as is'. Missing one button, where a webbing belt would sit, other buttons present and original.

£35.00 - SOLD

Side / Forage Cap -

SoF repro. - although the colour and finish of the material is critised as being unlike originals, the cap is a good match for the WA Great Coat, which itself had a greener hue then the British made counterpart. Sz is 56, but fitted me at a nominal 58, due to the jaunty angle of wear !

£14.00 - SOLD

Plastic 'Tommy' Helmet -

Looks the part well enough for war-softing, Has had some 'padding' fitted inside to hold tighter to the head, and the black plastic chin strap buckle has been painted to resemble 'tarnished brass'.

£8.00 - SOLD

I'd prefer to sell in 'lots' rather than split into individual items, purely for ease of dealing with everything (there's a lot of kit to clear). I will combine items/lots into box prices - obviously the lots would be ideal for a larger person, looking to start into WW2-softing. Due to the amount of kit involved, and general embuggerance of it all, I haven't taken pics as yet - pics can be provided for genuine buyers.
