Details |
'The bullet-proof jacket will resist a 455 Government revolver bullet'. No longer a experiment, but of proved effectiveness and utility, BODY SHIELDS are now a recognised and indispensable part of military equipment. They constitute a PRECAUTION that should be taken by EVERY OFFICER. So to be equipped is a duty he owes to his family, and to himself. The Wilkinson bullet-proof jacket, lined with highly-tempered steel which cannot splinter. Available from Wilkinson Sword, Pall Mall, London.
