Hi there,
I'm new here, so want to introduce myself! I've been reading the forum for a while and thought it appropriate to contribute! By way of an intro I'll share some of my collection with you all. All vintage, collected over the past few years.

I look forward to chatting!
Thanks,
Rich

G'day and welcome!

That's not THE SSG Sadler's first pattern Jungle Jacket?

Thanks! That's a question that I can't really answer, or at least I can't confirm. I bought it a few years ago from a reputable seller online, and found a ticket in the pocket linking it to Barry Saddler. The patches are (and I'm no real expert here) all period correct and have been on the jacket a long time based on the fading beneath the SF patch. However, they do look like they've been swapped out at some point, though I've come across a lot of 1st patterns where the patches have been swapped. If anyone can shed any light on it then I'd be very happy for input!

Thanks Dave, the immersion smock is actually my favourite! Actively looking for more post-war RAF gear, would love a fishtail parka and a grey Mk3 cold weather jacket
