101) Excellent original British Army Battledress Blouse. This is a strange one as it is British made and marked "Battledress. Blouses 1942 Pattern". We have heard of the US made lend lease 1942 pattern blouse but never of a British made 1942 pattern blouse! Any info on this would be much appreciated. It is In excellent clean condition had it not been for the rank pips to the epaulettes then we would have said mint unissued but was clearly issued but saw little use. The label is in place and dates it to 1943. It is nicely WD inspector stamped with date code "M" which shows that it was inspected in 1944 before being issued. It was most likely made late in 1943 and inspected early 1944. A lovely blouse in excellent order pretty much perfect. It’s a good large size 10. For size details see the photos of the internal label.
We have been informed that This is a standard 1940 pattern blouse but for some reason some were marked as 1942 pattern.
