117BU1 - British Army "Denison" paratroops jump smock. This jump smock brings images of the movie "A Bridge Too Far" and the attempt to take Arnhem, Belgium that featured British paratroops wearing their smocks and distinctive burgundy berets. This first pattern smock has been altered (as many were) to refit it from being a pullover smock to having a full zipper front closure. The original front snaps are evident that allowed for the "beaver tail" to be secured while making jumps. The beaver tail is still intact and was not removed. The exterior displays the expected green, tan and brown camouflage design. The exterior is free of tears and stains. The smock exhibits light /normal wear. The interior displays the Denison tag that informs us that it is a large size smock. The tag is dated 1942. There is another marking on the collar area "313". On the right sleeve is a handsewn British paratroops insignia. Affixed to the smock is a canvas combat rig with cartridge pouches. The rig's straps cross over the back. The heavy canvas is well-marked and dated 1944. $1,000. More Photos
