Default Combined Operation specimens-Post war?

Hi all

I brought these as post WWII made CO FS. They are not WWII era.

However my question is were there any use for the design that was cancelled in 1946?

The only image we have is from 1949 Combined Operations website.However they could be WWII made.

The ones pictured are on dark navy blue wool and I believe schiffli embroidered, due to the return thread and the thread itself is not silk but rayon, which is not the normal thread used by British manufactured FS and cloth titles.

Not to sure if British textile manufacturing had other bobbin thread embroidery machines in the 40's-50's use for formation signs and cloth shoulder titles.

The backing cloth is thick,firm and pasted to the wool.

They do not glow.

Not to sure when polyester or nylon thread was introduced into British made FS.

All opinions welcomed

cheers

Phill
