Yet you all bid on it like money is burning a hole in your pockets?

I am no expert on the SAS but that wing and cap badge are 80's.

The idea of splitting Poat's kit up a hundred times to maximise profit is something that becoming rather annoying. Split it up add a little bit to each lot to spice it up........how does he get away with it?

Not guilty, honest guv. Nice smock though. This Hogspear guy is interesting for the sheer amount of officer gear he produces on a regular basis.

Ha ha Des, I didnt think it was you because you know a genuine lot when you see it. I`m not sure I would want that Denison.......not since its had a rat living up the arm!

The question is........what is the maximum realistic number of Tam O'Shanters that one officer would own?

[DJT]

2 would seem reasonable to me.

Well, someone just got shafted for nearly £1200 on that!!!

These type of titles I have never liked nor do most SAS collectors. Just look at the backs on those things Never mind that SAS cap badge and the wings!!

So £1200 for a below average denison and tam o'shanter and some repro badges thrown in?

Deal of the century...

Thanks
Jack

Edit: I've just seen who has won it - seems I know him - will email.

From the buyer:

"I have shown the badges beforehand to a specialist SAS collector (he has everything!) and the titiles and wing are ok. The beret badge he was not 100% sure if it was ww2 but not excluded."

I take it that wasn't you Des, or your Belgian mate Marc?!!

What a staggering price for a textbook Belgium helmet in buggered condition.

This looks nice for those that like their helmets "as found".

It does look good, I just wonder what could have caused this sort of damage?

I would guess water and poor strorage.
