Default Presumed copies
Because they are in such pristine condition I am presuming these to be fairly modern copies
Would that be a correct assumption please?

Hi Ray,

No doubt these are repros They pop up regularly on Ebay. The real thing is as rare as hen's teeth. I have seen a good one in Bosleys auction a few years ago.

Cheers
JB

Default Thanks
Cheers JB
I got them for nothing and so expected nothing of them, guess they will fill a gap if nothing else

I couldn't find this pattern on the commandoveterans.org site or in Peter's book, has it been worn at all?

Yes Luc, but is very very rare now. Near unobtainable. One went through Bosleys a few years back from Len Whittaker's collection.
