Plenty of 'em about. Quite a few knocking around at the fair last week. I bought mine from SueSue - new, so they are of recent manufacture.
The battery that fits mine: http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/ ... rers,3R12R

Make your own labels?

B&Q used to do the Duracell ones. They are worth the extra cash in this case, they dont go dim after 3 hours.

These ones are repros and take a pair of regular D batts. The vendor has loads more so I'm sure you'll get one. They haven't been stored very well - all the contacts are quite heavily corroded and need a clean before it works.

EDIT - I've also found that the section in Reiberts that covers hand signals has a column called "light colour". I'll do a bit of research on it.

Parcel of bits from Sabre. Two MarkII bren pouches, pair of cross straps and a water bottle holder - all pretty much unissued! One of them bren pouches is dated 1938, so goes nicely with the other 1938 one I stumbled across! Both have been altered from Mark I to mark II but are in mint condition.

I would thoroughly recommend Nick and the Sabre team to anyone for British webbing, they are excellent!

A curious collection, where did they come from if it's not rude?
