Shortened sleeves do affect it considerably. As mentioned, values are not what they used to be!

HH... Price IMO right. You buy quite blind practically no return policy you must add fees and shipping cost which are a really additional fee very very expensive. So if you pay a third probably yyounare paying 2/3

You cant compare those 2 as one is a "dark" print, the other one "light"

[Disco Partisan]

Pretty sure, had it been Shea's"dark print", it would have been sold in the same price range (5-6000)

The palm smocks I had in the past, the dark ones I could sell easier for more than the light ones.

Interesting..I love the one smock.the one for 12 .palm..a few years ago, 8 or 9, people were asking 20-25 or more for these palm smocks, and they were hardly ever to be found...I dont doubt this one is real, looks fantastic, but what a price drop..

How can that be? We have been told over the years by some members on this forum that quality militaria never goes down in value.

Didnt we also hear in the 70s that at Ford Quality Is Job One? Something is askew in the market if once unobtainable are now somewhat affordable. I was never going to drop 25k on a smock like this, 12 I can live with. Assuming they are real, and supply is unchanged among real items, the demand curve is wayyyy off.
