If you want to use it in a production of a play, movie, or some other type of demonstration and you can demonstrate that its use will bring no discredit on the Canadian Forces, you may be able to borrow one from a local unit. If you want it for something else, go to a recruiting centre, sign on the dotted line, wait, train, prove yourself and earn it.

Didn't realize this was gonna be so tough, but ok here we go.
I'm making a uniform for my collection.
I live in Europe and I don't have access to the surplus stores carrying Canadian forces kit.
I just need to know where to purchase a simple Army DEU size: Coat Mans - 7040 approx.., Trouser 7034 approx. New to Mint.
No stings attached.
Hope that clarifies, a) I'm not a poser, b) or a Walter Mitty, c) or thet I want to discredit anything or anyone and d) I'm just an ex-soldier
I really hope that the message is comprehensible.
Thanks for any info.

So, now that you've clarified what you want, and why you want it, perhaps some here may have surplus they can send you.
Much easier, eh?
Try being a little more open and a little less cryptic next time. You're the one that made it tough. You should have posted this info in you initial request.

ditto...what he said.
You should have asked properly in the first place rather than just ask a general question. And my comment still stands, now that you've asked properly and told us why, perhaps someone would be nice enough to send you some old DEU kit...sorry, I had to turn mine in when I CT'd.

iper:Hey Recceguy...thanks for your guidance here.
My initial email .. indicates that I am going to be in Montreal and that I can purchase (at a surplus store for example).
However anyone with more effective ideas, thanks.
Thanks to anyone on THIS very useful site for advice and/or some pointers that could help.
SSF boots not required.
Cheers

Name is posted here - from last year ...

Besides - Way back then, apparently the numbers were off as compared to later years of issue.
I'm imagining that he indeed doesn't wish to post his last number, but judging by the thread in Commando.org, his number certainly seems to be in keeping with the time period he recd it.
His name also matches what I was sent via PM earlier today.
armyvern,
I am quite aware of what is written on Commando.org. I am also a member.
I was referring as to his coin number being 0241, which would not be correct in relation to his time
with the CAR. He should not have used the "zero" figure. As per your quote, the coin was introduced
in 1976 which started with coin number 1 (no coin number is preceded with zeros') and every
subsequent commando recieved the next coin. Mine is coin number 144*. Further, the commandos
who served prior to 76 recieved coin numbers relating to their demand date. And if a coin had been lost, a replacement coin with the original number would be issued with the number followed by an "R".
Another words coin number 241 would have to be from 1976.
He should have made it clear and state coin number 241*. (if that be so)
This is the reason for my previous post.

pddydog .......no challenge there brother, my number is 1446.paddydog said:57 Chevy,
Forget the PM - let's get it out here.
I always appreciate it when someone tries to tell me where i was and when. Gotta be a 'trust' isssue I guess.
The full number is 02414 - I can scan it and put it up here if that makes you happier, sir.
BTW - I appreciate that comment from you Airborne brother....So what is YOUR coin number.....and get yer wallet out cause I consider that email of yours a challenge - that means the BEER is in you.
Cheers again
You might know about the latest commando p-o-s-e-r from Cdo.org site.
It kinda put me on my toes a bit. ;D
By the way, I didn't send you an email.
