| I still have all but one of my Army issue brush set from 1963.
My family often comment. "Dad, where can I buy shoe brushes like your?"
I have surfed the usual sources including ebay. Does anyone have any ideas where I can buy ex military decent quality brush set? | |

| You could try New Cross Supplies, 34 Tib Street, Manchester. Te. 0161 832 9683
I've used them in the past, but don't know if they stock brushes. | |
