Looks like we were punching the keys at the same time.
Yours, Guy.

Des thats outstanding ,why couldnt he mention the dagger ? Rob.God please take justin bieber and gave us dio backComment

Thanks Ade and Guy,
I recognise it now!
Perhaps the seller of Des's handle knew that it is an illegal item and prevented it being pulled off by the ebay police.

Sorry Rob,
Only saw your post now. I asked the seller and he said he had listed it previously with the correct description but it had been pulled several times. He got sick of that and just wanted rid of it. My lucky break I guess? I will post photos when I get it.Comment

Hi Des,
It's hard to say from the pictures, but the beret looks ok indeed. Is that a leather sweatband, or is it just me that thinks it looks like leatherette?
I would like to see some more pictures, has anyone contacted the seller yet?
Regards, LucComment

Hi Luc,
About 3 days ago I got more photos. The leather band looks ok but I asked the seller if he would offer an inspection period. He has not replied so far which for me is a bad sign? I am not really interested in it anyway to be honest. I am looking for an unissued beret at the moment with no badge but this one has the cap badge holes so its not for me...Comment

Hi Des,
Strange he hasn't answered about the inspection period, this may not be a good sign.
Did you see if the liner shows the loosely handstiched thread on the inside?
If you don't know what I mean, I show a picture of it on my website.

Hi Luc,
Well here is his reply. Just got it.
"sorry for delay, i have taken expert advice, & have added to the description, please see/check item now, this Beret is 100% authentic. Money would be refunded if proved otherwise, less my costs"
I dont like sellers with a "Less my costs" sales strategy. If they are proved wrong on an item, i should not have to pay for their mistake.Comment

Hi Des,Originally posted by Des Thomas
I agree, you should be able to return an item in case pictures or item descrition are poor.
"Less my costs" is a bit vague, is that only listing fees or does it include leather from his shoesoles?
The white tag sounds ok doesn't it?

Hi Luc,
"Less his costs" could include not only the shipping costs, but also the petrol cost to go to the post office, money for his time wasted going to the post office, money for wearing his shoes down
, money for relisting the item, money for his breakfast that morning and so on.... 
Yes, the white issue label was normal. You dont find them on heavily worn berets but on lightly worn or unissued berets, usually they are always there.Comment

That sounds perfectly reasonable Des, I usually charge my customers for a splash of after shave as well. I want to look my best when I visit the local postoffice.Originally posted by Des ThomasHi Luc,
