RARE WW2 British ‘37 Pattern Battledress Blouse With Unlined Collar

Rare unlined collar '37 pattern battledress blouse complete with 1940 'Q' coded inspectors stamp. .
As has been recorded the first issues of the new '37 pattern battledress blouse came without a lined collar although this was soon modified with a lined collar to prolong its service life. Surviving examples of the unlined version are therefore very rare most not having survived very long at all. In excellent condition the clothing label to inside gives a very acceptable 'Size 11' with maker name ' L.D.FRASER & SON , LONDON' . There is a very pleasing crystal clear date of 'MARCH 1940' with broad arrow to bottom of label & an ink stamped WD 'Q' inspection code to lining for the year 1940. All of its original brass dished buttons are still present to lining & cuffs with early revolving shank vegetable ivory buttons to shoulder. Upon only very close examination can I see the odd tiny pin prick moth hole but these are in no way detracting from what is a very rare item.
