WW2 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion set

[Richard D]

I don't post the link because I don't have them . I'm not on the mailing list of "The Collector's Guild". I sent to Peter Whamond a list of what I'm looking for and they sent me larger photos of these two items.

As my knowledge of the WW2 Canadian Airbornes uniforms are limited. I'm asking for opinions. Just that. And I'm not the consignor of these items.

Looks like a nice Battledress.

Thanks for your opinion Brecht. It's very appreciated.

Grossly overpriced IMO

Indeed, both seem somewhat pricey, but who can say in todays market place for SF/Airborne items and Canadian para's do tend to attract big bucks and I think in general prices in Canada are relatively high compared to the UK.

Actually, those prices are criminal.

Some vendors try to offset the commission by pricing high. It is what it is.
If the items sell at those prices, I may liquidate my entire 1 Can Para collection.

True, but commission at that amount for what? Posting it on his site?

This is price gouging.

WOW! The exchange works out to roughly $7300 CDN for the BD alone, not to mention taxes, etc... for a guy who never saw combat! CRAZY MONEY!! LOVE IT!!!

Let me clarify. I don’t see him listed on the nominal roll for D-day with the Battalion as mentioned on the selling site. If anyone has anything different, please post.

Cheers
