1947 Pattern Officer's Battle Dress Blouse 53rd (Welsh) Division

A very nice example of the short-lived 1947 pattern battle dress that was worn by a Royal Artillery officer of the 53rd Welsh Division, this officer was clearly a WW2 8th army veteran of the North Africa & Italy campaigns.
All insignia is period applied and in very good order, has leather football type buttons fitted, some fraying present to a couple of the medal ribbons due to being mounted onto a hard edged plastic/celluloid bar, still retains a good bold printed makers label detailing a good size 10 and 1949 date, so possibly one of the last of the 47 pattern BD's to be produced.
The BD is in very good condition apart from a couple of small moth nips/holes in the shoulder blade region and one near elbow, more noticeable in the images than in the flesh as they say.
