Thoughts on this ebay item

Hi Luc,

Yes I saw that also. Amazing the crap some people will bid on.

[DJT]

Here is a very nice genuine pair of wartime S.A.S. shoulder titles if anyone is looking for a set. I'd bid myself but can't afford them right now

This doesn't look like a fibre rim shell, or...?

Hi Luc, I agree, not a fibre rim or the correct shell for one.

Cheers, Ade.

I see the auction has been ended. Either the seller realised the helmet wasn't the goose with the golden eggs after all or some buyer got stung big time.

Strange that Belgium moths do eat the uniform fabric, but dislike the badges...

[lnijherald]

They must have known the badges were no good.

Holy SH*T ! 777 GBP ! (=1500 us$)

I don't even think it's WW1 !

[shadwell1944]

Where does it say anything like 'Guaranteed original WW2 manufacture' in the listing?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=018

Am I being an idiot or are the bidders?

[lnijherald]

This is.... interesting. A 1941 dated example of a 1942 pattern oversmock.

PS I think the Pegasus patches are original.

I love it when I see these Malayan era wings being sold AND bought as WW2 pieces. It's actually quite ironic as these are rarer in my opinion.
