Cold War Era Women's Civil Defence Corps Battledress Blouse (Hammersmith, London)

An excellent condition Women's Civil Defence Corps battledress blouse (C.D 24 A) bearing officer rank shoulder stripes and embroidered breast insignia for the Hammersmith (district of West London) area, the officer was obviously a veteran of WW2 as a Defence medal ribbon is proudly on display.
The small size navy blue BD retains good strong colour and is much darker than seen in the images, the label is present and very clear, please note the sizes.
What did surprise me was the late date of manufacture this being 1967 (CDC was stood down in 68) as the plastic CD buttons on the epaulettes along with the breast badge have pre-52 King's crowns, these must have been old stock items, front buttons are plain plastic type.
Wonderful condition, only one little nip on edge of epaulette.
This BD was recently discovered inside a trunk within an outbuilding so requires a light airing.
