Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Got in 2 pairs of tropical breeches. One pair is M43 and near mint, beautiful pair. Same material as the shorts. Thank you @DAK D for your patience and generosity . The second pair is a 1942 field used "whipcord" material. Another beautiful pair. I need a standing mannequin now. Thank you Barry Searson for this pair. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davejb Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Those are pretty hard to come by mate, but they are in very good condition, I especially like the Corded pair, and you do get some great pieces, is it easier to get the better types in the states, it seems that the USA have a wider choice and items are more prolific than over here in the UK 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im on an extremely tight budget and being offered excellent items at a below market price and being able to pay on time has been the blessing for me. @DAK D has helped me in education as well, more than he probably knows. I am fortunate to have him as my friend. I do believe we had alot of DAK prisoner of war camps over here so that may account for the many items here in the states, but I have gotten some of my best from the UK.

Desert Rat Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Nice comments Tony, For those who have assisted you on MCN...Davejb and Dermot, Great to have you all on here, as we all need assistance with different militaria items we buy....and perhaps we know not much about! (but we buy as we like the items and make rash decisions sometimes!) Thanks to you All....and best wishes....Desert Rat Edited November 20, 2018 by Desert Rat correction to text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
