A vintage Pontypool Rugby Football Club shirt, it is hard to date as there is no sponsorship etc but from items it was with it could well be from the 1980's or may...be earlier.
It is a heavy 100% acrylic material although I am not sure if it would be team issue or designed for fans, it was with items belonging to a former Chairman of Hull Kingston Rovers so may well have been obtained as a gift or swap item etc.
The size is given as 40" which is correct as when measured flat from armpit to armpit I also make it a 40" chest.
Manufactured by Balan Sports of Gwent.
There are a few small mud splash marks mostly on the back and generally to the upper area this and a little bit of grubbiness around the button holes suggests it has been worn although otherwise it seems too clean to have been used in a match. From the general look and feel of the material etc I would say it has never been laundered so when it was worn it was probably only once and may have been whilst watching a match rather then playing.
