WW2 British ' Pixie' Tank Suit 1944
A now very hard to find 1944 dated British army Tank Crews Suit otherwise known as the 'Pixie Suit' .
This piece has its original clothing label still present to inside of cuff giving maker name & size as well as the all important date of 1944. There is also an M coded inspectors stamp to the inside lining for the year 1944. A used item I have gently tested both of the front full length zips & they still work. Also the internal harness strap system is still present as well as its waistbelt . Brass pop studs as is correct. There are general signs of wear & tear with a couple of holes & small tears in places which i have pictured. Some grubby marks through general wear & storage are also visible.
These can be seen in period footage being used by tank crews & are particularly applicable to the NW Europe theatre of war.
A very rare wartime suit the only ones usually seen are the almost visually identical postwar issues with non brass pop studs & 1950s dates.
