As I mentioned it in an earlier post shown below is the woolly pulley [ Jumper mountain troops ] Original designed for mountain warfare the jumper has a straight neck with holes to the front for a long brown shoe lace style cord fitting these are often washed out and appear lighter in the flesh , These jumpers went through 4 patterns from when they where introduced in 1941 with the other mountain warfare items the Commandos and SAS troops liked them over the standard army thin jumper so they used them instead of the normal jumpers the 1st pattern of these jumpers had no elbow pads which the 2nd pattern examples had added the 3rd pattern examples then had pads on the shoulders added and the 4th and last pattern had the shoulder straps added these where used right up into the late 1960's the latest dated example I have encountered being 1962 .They are not common items but are around .
