5 (Scottish) Para Battledress

1940 pattern battledress blouse with embroidered insignia comprising Parachute Regiment shoulder titles and Pegasus formation signs to both sleeves, parachute qualification badge and sergeant stripes to right sleeve only. All insignia has been attached with the same blanket stitching. Maker label inside and feint WD stamp with ‘N’ for 1943 and size 7. Lining material has a scrubbed appearance and overall the jacket has the look of an everyday BD, not best or walking out. Medal ribbons for Italy and France & Germany stars. This unit was part of 2nd Parachute Brigade and took part in operations in Italy, Southern France and Greece. Good used condition but numerous small moth holes, some to insignia, slight colour differences between left and right sleeve, probably from sunlight but overall the jacket still displays well.
