WW2 British Airborne Troops First Pattern Denison Smock 1942

A scarce 1942 dated British Airborne troops first pattern Denison camouflage smock complete with original monkey tail & working half zip.
This smock is a fabulous large sized example & comes with all of its original features straight out of WW2. The printed camouflage pattern is still good & strong with its original knitted wool cuffs still present. The half zip is a totally original '
LIGHTNING' marked example & in fully working order. Monkey tail is unmessed with & just as it was when issued. All of its fully functional brass Newey snap fasteners are still present including the two for side waist adjustment. The interior clothing label is still present & gives the large size of '7' & clear date 1942 with manufacturer 'WAREINGS (N'TON) LTD' .
In overall very good moderately used condition there is a nice amount of wear but with the colours still very strong. There is what appears to be a depot repair to the rear ( See images ) .
A fantastic piece classic Arnhem / Normandy issue.
