Unless its dirt cheap and or the correct Belgian type(3 different i believe)then to be honest i would leave alone and save up to get a new Rangercamp or plenty of used WPG ones about which are better than Belgian ones.
The main difference (apart from the fabric) is the colour - dark green and brown, as opposed to olive, ochre and mid-brown. I would agree to save your pennies and try and get a Rangercamp one, if you can.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Also begian smocks are shorter... and the arrangement of poppers and pockets (etc) is totally different.
They're also full-zip, the british ones should be half-zip.
They really are very different and unless you really can't afford a rangercamp one (£100) and are getting the belgian one at about £25 then I'd not bother. In the end its up to you though!

Yith,there are as far as i know 3 types of Belgian smocks.
The 1st type very early ones are EXACT as WW2 smocks and theory is that they were actual Brit surplus ones-only difference is the half zip has been replaced with buttons.
Then there is another 1/2 zip which again in layout is EXACT as 2nd patt Brit.Come in different sizes so could be long or short.These are very very nice smocks in their own right but pattern is slightly different to Brit and the monkey tail attaches to the outside rear of the smock not the inside rear like Brit ones.
Lastly we have the awful(for Brit use anyway)pattern,full zip with press studded storm flap,pockets that close with 3 press sutds etc-NOTHING AT ALL like a WW2 Denison-hell you would be better off with a 59Pattern Denison than one of these 
Cheers for the extra info, I think I've only ever seen the latter ones for sale...

Yep,the latter ones nobody wants(other than congo reenactors!!)as they are awful.
Used to have a very nice one years ago but these days they arent that common any more.
Bloody hell who would believe it-havent seen one for ages now we are on about them here is one-

got my mate to send a pic, its an early one, same colour and pattern but very heavily used so i didnt bother. it was only 20 euros tho,,,,,
update: i now have, denison smock( from baldrick) , maroon beret, green and brown scrim scarf. working on the trousers and webbing. would it be ok to use an mp40 ? prob more realistic than a tommy gun.
MP40 was a big favourite with Brits.

Make sure you call it your schmeisser, not your MP40 
Just what I was thinking.... I think Chommers has finally gone over the edge!
