Nato flak vest with inner and 2 ceramic plates.

Had this for years, not something I'm likely to use. Is this something anyone on here would be interested in? If so, how much is it likely to be worth please? 

Just realised I put tomorrow's date on it, hope that doesn't break the rule as I've just put it back in the attic and put the ladder away.

Thanks.

I’d be checking eBay for similar items dude if your struggling to ping a price on here with it (though some eBay sellers are EXPENSIVE) so use your finest judgment from there 😂

There's one on there without the ceramic plates for 50 quid, not sure anyone wants the plates as they bloody heavy.

Thanks for the reply mate. I might stick it in the trade section and see what happens. 

Love your user name. 😆

TBH the vest isn't worth as much as the plate IMO, I paid £39 for a bulk set of 10 with no plates. Pop it on fleabay on a 10 day auction & you'll get the best price people will pay.

Because the plates are desirable for collectors/completests (a bit like me).

Id be happy to trade the whole things, if anyone is interested? The plates weigh a kg each. 

It has the inner liner as well.

Pop down to your local macca’s after dark and offer it to the ones hanging around. Tell them it’s bulletproof and you’ll get £100 easy I reckon!

 

As Gavin said though, it will definitely be worth a good price to a collector or a reenactor as plates are relatively difficult to come by, especially a “pair”

It’s commonly known as ECBA - Enhanced Combat Body Armour.
Was used in early days of Iraq and Afghanistan before being replaced with Osprey around 2006. 

The plates will be the main value in it

I wore the green camo version in Kosovo. The standing joke being we hoped the bad guys were good shots to hit that tiny little plate.
