Rare 1945-47 Indian Grenadiers - India Command Supreme Headquarters Officer's Battledress Blouse (2nd Ptn Printed Shields) No Paypal.

An exceptionally rare all original BD that belonged to a Captain in the 'Indian Grenadiers', from late 1945 through to the partition of India in 1947, the locally made embroidered titles are in excellent condition and totally original to the BD, never encountered other examples, the shield shaped 'India Command supreme Headquarters' signs are again incredibly rare due to being the 2nd pattern printed type (note the slight misprint to one shield, lack of black border to sword & India), from memory I think it was introduced in 47 so very short lived.
The BD's printed label/details are laundered out with only a very faint broad arrow & partial lettering remaining, has all the characteristics of being Australian made with its blued waist buckle, large distinctive plastic epaulette buttons, white metal buttons and darker coloured serge, the Captain must have been of very slight stature as it's quite small (approx. 35 inch chest).
The BD has suffered slightly from moth damage as there are numerous small holes present but due to the darker coloured serge they don't ''sing out at you'', still displays well.
Please study all the images in regards to condition.
