WW2 RAF O/A Uniform (Cap, BD & Trousers)

A most interesting and untouched example of an ordinary airman`s uniform which consists of his side cap, 44 dated BD and 43 dated trousers, judging by the look & feel of this uniform you would swear that the original owner had returned home from service or even captivity removed his uniform and without cleaning it simply stored it away and then lost it to time.
The small sized No.3 BD retains good colour along with an excellent clear label, I can find only two small moth holes in the back, the two concealed front pocket buttons are missing along with one on lower front.
The side cap is in wonderful condition and free from any moth damage, still with its original brass badge, unable to find any makers mark. size approx. 6 7/8ths - 7.
The second pattern trousers also retain an excellent label with a clear 1943 date (used old stock suits label during early transition to 2nd pattern), there is a small 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch L shaped tear on one leg but easily repaired if required.
There are small amounts of wear to pocket edges , flaps and leg hems + crude little repairs, no moth holes, the whole uniform would benefit from a dry clean but personally I would leave it as found as this uniform looks like there is a story behind it.
I do wonder if it was worn during captivity (POW) as it definitely has a lived in feel/look about it.
All sizes shown on labels, a genuine been there example.
