I've managed to do a bit more research and have discovered that LV6 MT4 is a group i.d. for Common Electrical Stores for mechanical transport. 9199 would be the bit that tells you which one to order and presumably would provide a clue to which vehicle. Y-5 is suggesting it could be motorcycle or small  cars but so far no direct link to anything.  LV7 is British Army Code for foreign vehicles.

Interesting. Thats good to know. I’m still wondering whether to leave it as is or try to restore it. I may just put it up for sale as it is.  

Loving the nearly completely white back, very nice

Gorgeous uniform !

Very useful, thank you

I can thoroughly recommend watching some of Mark Novaks videos on Youtube for some solid advice and tips on stock work, For me personally, I like boiled linseed oil but occasionally pure tung oil gets a some use. Just make sure its pure though, a lot of companies like to brand their products as ''tung oil'' but its actually cut with a lot other crap. 

Boiled. Raw doesn't dry. I just wipe it on with a rag or even just my bare hands. Let it sit a day then wipe dry.

Thanks

Neat patch Mort. Hope you can nail it down. A Chaplain example would be pretty awesome.
