Leigh lets face it ,if its real its worth £5000+ .and belongs in a museum .The only downside I can see to buying it is you would have to go to Scotland to pick it up! Rob.

Yep, you're right - but going to Scotland would be cheaper than the paypal fee too - I think. It's the e-bay thing that puts me off. Going to Scotland's no treat either.

Oh no - is this a Star Trekkie thing?

I know - & I'm desperately trying to sit on my hands.

If he was so convinced it was a Bishops hat, why did he list it under militaria in the first place?

Too many questions with these, the guy selling them has'nt done himself any favours by his "I'm an inocent abroad" approach to these sales - it's certainly scared me off in the absence of hands on examination.

The Belgic has just gone for £2,500

About 6 months ago (may be a few months out there) one went at Bosleys for £8,500 - it had cords & plume (original?) & its makers label, but the "standard" GR plate rather than a regimental one such as the one that's just gone through e-bay.

If this thing's genuine then it was well worth £2,500.
These helmets are reproduced for re-enactors & I don't know enough about them to risk my dosh on the strength of Mr. I don't know my a*s from my elbow's ditherings & a couple of crappy little photos.
I hope someone got a good genuine buy there.

One down, one to go.
Now I've just got to hold out & not bid on the mitre.

[leigh kitchen]

£5359.59 for the mitre.

The good thing there is that it went for more than I would've bid, but it's still well worth the money paid if genuine.

I feel better now - better than I would have if it'd gone for less than I was going to throw at it.

Hi Leigh I know how you feel ,phew glad its all over .The condition of that mitre was phenominal to say the least .I hope its genuine for the buyers sake.Rob.
