Sold: War dated 4 man tent grade one condition.

[RichardT10829]

As per title canvas is in immaculate condition, no poles, but as you know these are the easy bis to sort ! Both inner and outer canvas are stamped, comes with bag.

Ideal for folk going to war and peace and want to be original, or perhaps folk going to Arnhem this year..... Light enough to chuck in the back of a jeep !

Only selling as I have had to replace my compressor and have a large bill to satisfy..... You won't find one in this original condition at a decent price....why have a repro when you can have the real thing.

£650 can part ex for carrier bits.






Located Newcastle upon Tyne United Kingdom

Richard is this the approx. 6” 6″ x 6” 6″ sized British officer's tent?

Hanno

[RichardT10829]

Hanno I have not measured it, I wish I had now.... Was a pig to get back in the bag.... I will pull it out tomorrow am pending on weather.... It did have white writing on the ridge.

It has a brown fly sheet with kind of a porch on it (sorry I am not helping here...gimme five mins and I will trace some pics of the same tent erected for you)

[RichardT10829]

Looking at online pictures it appears it might be the officers tent.... I also have two brown ww2 dated pup tents with the mozzie nets in too these will go up for sale in due course after this tent has gone.

Yep pretty sure that's what it is..... The repro ones are fetching 450 ! Perhaps I should ask for more money for this one......being so rare and all

EDIT: leave it with me chaps the fly sheet appears to be an extra item..... Going to seek some advice before going further.....






Appears 8' x 8' stretched.... Ignore the height as my fence is not correct so to speak ! I have used the fence as a ridge pole, the remainder is hanging over the fence

Fly sheet has a mark near to the bottom front guy line hole.... The other marks are mud and where it has sat folded

I know it's worth more, but for a quick sale and to MLU'ers I am looking for £650 ovno for the lot, failing that it will go onto eBay

I can take currency and carrier parts part ex too.

Cheers folks.

[RichardT10829]

Right... Extra images added.... Be quick grab it while you can !

Richard, That's looks a nice tent, I can offer you £400 for it complete, I went to Shaun's today but forgot to take the part I made for you, going back in two weeks otherwise will have to post.

by the way is that a rather large suitcase next to the carrier........or a beer cooler for W&P

Kev.

[RichardT10829]

Yeah beer cooler.... I will pass on the 400 thanks you are about 200 under what I will accept....

No probs for those bits mate just drop em in on Shaun, I am busy having some fantastic bins made up by Old Buck Restorations ! Fantastic quality I might add !

[Marc van Aalderen]

Richie,

PM sent.

Cheers,

[RichardT10829]

PM replied to mate, bear with me folks, I have been a bit bogged down.... I am quite stunned at the great interest in this thing ! I am going through the many offers and trades, I will reply via PM to those who have made sensible offers,

Many thanks

Ps I have located four green pup tents but need to check dates, if these are of use to folk I will put them up for sale too if folk are interested.

Blimey Kevin , I thought you had been after one of these for years ! You don't often see one in this condition , don't miss it or you will kick yourself .

On the other bits for Richie just post them direct to him as I won't be seeing him until may. When he comes down now.
