Toward the end of last year my daughter apparently took a shine to this parka that popped up in a one of our local auction houses specialist sales. Fair enough. I was then somewhat surprised to see my wife walk in with it having used my bidders number in the sale. Following on I have been a tad less than pleased to see it still on the hook where it was hung after it was brought into the house.
Unfortunately the label is missing but at a guess it's probably a 38-40, I suppose I ought to try it on really. It has had obvious use and what looks to be some reflective tape added. It is substantially padded and fairly heavy. I make no bones about my lack of any in depth knowledge of postwar parka's.
As an aside we are within the flightpath of Midenhall & Lakenheath so items from there and other places do crop up for sale around here from time to time.
With the above in mind can I have a positive ID please. As it is not being used here I will probably offer it up for sale at some point.
Thanks in advance.
