British & Canadian items

Canadian Battledress 6th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery in good worn condition. The battledress retains its period sewn insignia. The battledress is ID numbered inside D.157861. The 6. LAA landed in Normandy on 9.7.1944 and fought until the end of the war in the Netherlands. The battledress is a size 6 and dated October 1944. It is very hard to find this type of battledresses with period mounted insignia!

Rare RAF AH2040 pilot spade grip which was used with several RAF fighters like the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane. The grip is in very good and displayable condition. It was mounted on a piece of wood which is removable. The firing button is in functional condition including the rotating safety toggle. This is a very difficult to find original grip which would be a great asset to any RAF or RCAF themed collection!

Beautiful combat worn British Denison smock Airborne Troops marked A. Whyman LTD. 1942 size 7. The smock is a textbook example in unwashed, combat worn condition. The shadow of the jumpwing on the sleeve is visible. The smock is named in the neck to ‘. H. Alderton’ with the first . indicating that there is a another letter folded underneath the name tape. This could be a great base for further research. The smock is a beautiful example in unwashed condition. It has dirt, sweat and grime in it which truly shows its character. The smock is a good large size 7 as was typical for the men fighting in Normandy and Arnhem. The smock retains its sleeve cuffs in good condition. I have had quite a number of nice smocks. But with most of the smocks in collections today being minty examples;  this is a genuine worn example. Beautiful for a combat mannequin!
