1940’s Boy Scout Uniform & Accessories – Royal Duty Connection

This interesting collection of 1940’s Boy Scout uniform and accessories comes with a letter addressed to Guilford and district boy Scouts association dated January 1948 instructing G.S.M. R.T. Wright to present himself for duty at the Royal wedding presents office at St James’s Palace on the 27th January, the late Queen Elizabeth was married in November 1947 and the wedding couple received 2,500 wedding gifts from around the world, they went on show at St James’s palace from Nov ‘47 to March ’48 and I assume the Scouts were in attendance to help and guide the public.
The uniform consists of: shorts, made by ‘Klabro’ they have a 34 inch waist and come in good but used condition. A kaki coloured shirt with shoulder tabs and insignia with two service stars on the pocket for 3 and 5 year service, this has a 40 inch chest and is in good but used condition. A ‘Kangol’ made green beret in a medium size, used but in good order. A green neckerchief in very good order. A good leather Boy Scouts belt and buckle complete with knife in sheath and an Acme Scouts whistle, set at a 29 inch waist, used condition and the knife with wear. And finally a selection of badges, tie pins a woggle and some old keys. A great original lot.
