But if the dealer / collector knows the tunic is restored then it should be disclosed in the description - so there is no doubt.
If it is in fact restored I couldn't justify that asking price, but then as much as I respect Bill Shea, he didn't get wealthy by under pricing his militaria.
But like Scott said - it's a rare item and someone will buy it.

The owner of the tunic just made me aware of the reattached runic tab and sleeve eagle. Upon learning this from the consigner, I immediately modified my description to reflect these characteristics. The applications were expertly done but, as always, with my efforts at full disclosure, I have now edited the description.
Sincerely,
Bill Shea

I have never seen Bill, or any other dealer, put a gun to someone's head and say you must buy my item. These are conscious decisions and choices. I have many wonderful and rare pieces which I have acquired from Bill and other dealers/collectors which seemed expensive at the time of purchase. I have watched those items double and triple many times in value. You can never go wrong buying nice, rare original items. There are many dealers/individuals from whom I would never purchase a piece, but Some, including Bill, whom I would never hesitate to do business with.

What is a fair price? I have read a plain SS wrap is approx $18k plus another $5k for insignia. $23K - $25K is what I'm hearing, The asking price now has come down to $30K bottom line. Is that recommended here? I only buy SS from Bill to be sure I am getting solid pieces. I would jump on it for $25K, $30K is putting me off.
