After a while ,searching for this item i have actually received this one , at long last !!

 

i cant seem to find any markings at all on it ? is this the M1 TYPE with an M3 APRON ??? im lead to believe this is an English made version ?

 

Feel free to post your comments and any more information you might have on this item

 

Thanks LB

the next 2 photos are from the reverse of the apron to try and show the 2 lots of stamps that i found but they are very very faint to the naked eye so sorry for the poor quality

Looks very good. I mentioned in another post my father had 50 sets of these from a warehouse in East London years ago - they were all unissued. I expect a good deal of the good condition vests originated from the same warehouse.
