Hi Mark,

Have you asked BCD @ Platatac? He probably can supply more info to you.

Regards,

Mick

However, the original (Unit Procured) items ARE known to have been made in a small number of hat and collar sets for wear on mess dress (and those were first seen seen approximately 18 months ago).

No... we don't think they are official issue. Nevertheless, the initial small run of (private purchase) items, now seems to have been remade. That (at least) implies a larger production run this time around?

Any thoughts?
