Superb 1945 Airborne Troops Denison Smock

An excellent condition 2nd pattern Denison smock by Frankenstein & Sons, retains wonderful strong colours, with its working ''Dot'' half zip & pull tab, intact monkey tail, a legible label and all of its original ''Newey'' fasteners. A faint WD acceptance stamp present with Z code for 1945.
The label states being a size 1 (smallest) but all smocks are cut & manufactured much larger than the printed dimensions shown, this done to allow for multiple layers being worn by the trooper, vest ,shirt, BD etc.
A period done modification has been made to the cuffs, they have been extended by re-purposing the internal hanging pockets, these pockets were very often removed by the wearer (have encountered many over the years), a neatly done cuff & tab alteration that could easily be put back to its original state, must have been a tall trooper as the extensions cover most of my hands and I am 5'10'' .
Exceptional looking smock.
