Scott Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I've this early LW NCO four-pocket tunic that I'd like to find an original pair of dress gloves for. I know they came in white and grey (I'd prefer the grey), but what separates original period gloves from post-war types? (materials, construction, markings, etc?). I'd love to see some original examples with opinions on what to look for.Thanks!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 # 3:That last set seems to have a greenish hue. Could they be police?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 That's a nice pair of gloves Albert! Very similar to what I posted. Are they marked on the inside? My concern with the pair I posted above is the type face of the maker's stamp; I think it's Helvetica or Aerial font, which didn't exist in WWII...Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hello Hairoil. Thanks for posting your gloves here . Does the LICO mark in your gloves match exactly the gloves I posted above? Are there any markings on the snaps of your gloves.Thanks again.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
