Woodwork find British paratrooper Stengun magazine bandoleer dated 1942. This is a textbook 1942 dated stengun bandoleer in good condition. These bandoleers were found a few months ago in a Italian housecleaning. They were all found together with their guns in what looks to be a Italian resistance stash. These bandoleers were probably dropped by the Brits and after the war simply forgotten. One can buy 1943 or 1944 dated examples every now and then but 1942 dated examples are more scarce. These bandoleers are all dusty, uncleaned and in unused condition. Nice opportunity to acquire a early example that has never been in a collection before!

Denison smock Airborne Troops size 7 A. Raven & Co, LTD 1942 in excellent condition. The smock was worn by a Paratrooper during operation Dragoon in southern France. The garment is a beautiful early example finished in hand painted and screen painted camouflage patterns. Interestingly this is a early example with the front portion cut out of two separate parts joined in the middle. One should not confuse this with a seam for a long zipper as both the edges are sewn at the Selveedge indicating this is not possible. Additionally none of the seams on the lower sewing have been opened or resewn. The garment has additional hand painted brown camouflage paint on top of the hand painted camouflage base. The sleeve wing was found with the garment but resewn by the previous collector. The tail is present and sewn to the back, not fixed with female newey studs. The label is nice and readable, the WD marking in the back is clear. On the lower portion there is a service number visible which is hard to make out. This is a beautiful early pattern Denison smock in a good large size with a history that would be hard to upgrade!
