Guess the maker/contract for a bit of fun!

[Roughwear]

Just to liven things up here a little would anyone like the have a go at guessing the maker and contract of this A2 from just two pictures? Let's see how well you know your stuff!

No, but good try Vic.

 

[ECKHARTUS]

Bronco ?

 

[Roughwear]

I'm afraid it is not a Bronco.

I'm going to try Rough Wear 1401-P

Pocket shape is pure Rough Wear, and the collar stand lends itself to that...

...but I bet I'm wrong

Collar stand... ball snaps... that curved point on the pocket flap & wide, square-ish collar points - got to be a Rough Wear. I'll go pre-war 16159; the fine pitch of the stitching looks like a detail that wouldn't be found on war time variants.

Cooper - contract W535-AC-23381.

Cooper - contract W535-AC-23381.

Good guess, but no. The pocket corners on Cooper A2s are bevelled.

Dubow 20960.

Don

That was one of my choices, but the pockets down seem quite right. Neck opening is small though?

 

[WBOONE]

Dubow 20960??

 

[Skip]

Star Sportswear 42-18245P ?

 

[Jaguar46]

Rough Wear W535-AC-27752?

 

[Roughwear]

Thanks guys. You have made some great guesses, but they are still wide of the mark.

 

[2BM2K]

Good Wear, ACME 38-1711-P

 

[Roughwear]

Good Wear, ACME 38-1711-P

Sadly no.
