Cool find, I was curious when these would start making rounds in the collector markets. Was this the one that was listed on ebay for a while?

Thanks for the comment. The seller misidentified this piece and I think that is why it went unnoticed.

That's a neat looking vest, Arch. How's the quality?

Since it is made by Vest Guard in the UK, the quality is very good. NOTHING like the Afghan made pieces.Ben wrote:That's a neat looking vest, Arch. How's the quality?

Did any armor inserts come with this vest? If so, what are the rated ballistic protection levels?
