Just listed on ebay. I bought this recently, it was listed as a gerkin so didn't get many hits. Didn't realise until it turned up that it is actual they type issued to women of the Auxillery Territorial Service during the Second World War. This is the later economy pattern without the half belt at the back.

I've been out of the military collecting scene for a while so don't know current value. I know about 10 years ago they were £30-ish... Start price £15 with no reserve.
