WW2 British Special Operations SOE Airborne Para Modified Step In Smock Bruneval

Description

WW2 British Special Operations SOE Airborne Para Modified Step In Smock Bruneval Raid. Except for the tag and the WD stamp this smock is devoid of markings. These were used by the SOE and early airborne types before the dennison pattern smock came into general use. You can see pictures of them in use during the Bruneval raids. All snaps are present and the zippers are functional. The legs have been removed so it is more of an anorak now. The zipper does not go all the way down and stops approx 2 inches below the bottom of the jacket. Side zippers on each side to access a firearm or items underneath the jacket.  In thirty plus years of doing this I have only ever had two of these. Very very hard to obtain
