Hi Todd, I would say its post-war judging by that letters and numbers font. Nice pick up though.

I am of the opinion that this may be a shooting jacket or a fishing jacket, I had something like it when i was out fishing but not so many pockets

Looks like a pistol pouch on the right as pictured, some sort of private purchase Tactical vest?

I would guess its a tailor made vest for use in Northern Ireland judging by the radio pouch on the right hand side. Probably from mid 80's to early 90's I would think.

@Todd , is that buckle made from the metal or plastic?

Via a search i found this thread in russian forum:

There's a same make/model buckle, made from nylon.

Manufacturer : FX Ltd, Basingstoke, England. Model SR-50.

There's a claim that this is a police issue.
