Hey Ritchie,
Is this BD named to a GNR. Inkster by any chance?
Is the attached picture the same BD?

[JHoll72]

Having trouble attaching pics...second try.

[ritchie4]

same one! what did you think of it? it looks good, I've just never seen an rca patch with that type of font.

[JHoll72]

Well, since I have the great coat and duffle bags...I like it.
You got it off ebay..did you get the trousers also that were originally sold with the BD?
Did you get the helmet that was also part of the group?
Where was the ebay seller from??
This stuff was part of an estate auction sale, the Bd set sold for $170...more than I wanted to pay for a set from auction. The helmet had painted insignia on the side and went for $110.
If you don't mind my asking, what did you pay for the BD on ebay?

I paid 270, a little much, but i liked it. If you ever want to part ways with the great coat i'd love it to go with the set. No ideas about the helmet though, I would love to see it. Do you have any idea if it went to the same person?

[ritchie4]

Oh by the way, the seller was from port elgin.

Hey Ritchie,
Here is a pic of what I got, the greatcoat had the three Canada titles in the pocket and the duffle bags had the D lock and the bayo frog.
I have also attached a pic of the helmet, which I did not get.
There was other stuff there also, but I don't think it was attributed to this vet.
Did you get the pants also?? If you did what kind of shape were they in...the auctioneer said they had moth damage??

[JHoll72]

Great coat.

[JHoll72]

Name in coat.

[ritchie4]

ya i got the blouse and the trousers. both have some moth damage which is noticable, but not too bad overall, was there any moth damage to the greatcoat? what did you get your stuff for? I love when you find extra stuff in bags and pockets, not bad.

Ritchie.
