Was wondering if any of you can point me to where I can get this jacket, the picture is dated 1947, I'm assuming its a P37 British issue but not quite sure. :confused:

Look like a Pattern 37 with a re-tailored collar, many were modified in that fashion for walking-out dress for returning troops by british tailors at the end of the war..
Thanks for the reply. :D
Makes sense, so its a tailored P37, thanks for that information. :)
In case anyone was wondering this picture was taken after wars end in 1947 in Greece of a Police officer.

Thought since I just bought the badge off ebay that goes with the uniform I'd show it here incase anyone was wondering. :madsmile:

The Greeks used British style battle dress post WWII. You can usually find some on epay. Lots was sold to reenactors to use for Brit BD. The Greek stuff has a distinctly greener color. Brit BD is brown, Canadian has a faint green cast to it and Greek is the greenest of all. Most of the Greek BD I've seen has an upper case sigma (looks like the letter M turned sideways) stamp inside the waistband.
Firstly welcome to the forums! :thup:
And as for the Greek BD being the greenest I didn't know that, I must admit I do not know a lot about Greek uniforms. Hense why I was wondering what people thought.
As for getting it I'm not all that sure, not too interested in reenacting or anything. And I thought the badge was kinda neat so bought that to satisfy my curiosity. :super:
