Bought April
2012 from the North East, where he says it has sat outside for 10 years with
only a paint job on the front end in that period. After leaving the Army it
would seem it went to Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh to be used by their
Officer Training Corps. The headboard is just legible. I am very pleased to
have found it in unrestored ex Army condition. It is a runner and apart from
some woodwork that needs replacing is in remarkably good condition everywhere.
Just needs some tlc and paint.
