Wow...I'm happy
In a few posts Vet's (which we are supposed to love and respect) have been called liars and unreliable sources, a uniform I've got on the rack doesnt exist in a canadian pattern and colour and a British maker's name, even though the guy who says it doesn't has never seen it, Clive, who has done a great job publishing a series of informative Canadian books calls himself a "coffee table" book publisher,(coffee table books are 99 cents at the remainder sale at bookstores and you all know what they are) and, a guy I've never met says I don't know what I've got here and it's all fake.
Boys the fakes are on E Bay and they turn up all the time. The crap is at the Militaria Shows and it's "original" ss uniforms and Canadian battledress jackets that a month ago had no flashes and now is 3rd div. original d day. It's kangaroo badges aged with a blowtorch or whatever.
I'll give up annoying all you experts now. No more posts. I've had three phone calls asking me what's going on.
Who is this Bruce Parker guy anyway??? Seems to me someone said he had a perfectly restored Fox (all covered with red fur?) and carrier. Both ground up Museum quality. Bruce I see a complete original list of WW2 Tac sign markings in your future.
