I know i bid $3750 and lost, i asked the winner how much he was willing to go and he said double that. Also the collector from Qld bought the Jap gun and said there was no limit to what his boss would pay, he was told to get it no matter what. The ferret did not run but it was a father and son who bought it and were very happy with the buy(were there 2 days before auction to buy her)

Thanks Shane for letting us know.

Cheap for a very rare trailer! I was not sure when i saw it a few years back if it had its original body or not (having never seen another IHC trailer and only 2 others known in existance according to the trailer database- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...1E&hl=en#gid=0. i`ll need to contact the owners of the other 2 and ask for photo's!), i was not sure given the very flat/minimal/no ribbed sides. I suspect from a few war time photo's ive seen that it might be original but have no proof.

Sure was an interesting trailer (well i think so in my own aussie jeep trailer intriguied mind!) and a good price regardless of the body originality cloud.

Cheers and thanks again,
Ian.

I got a real Ghurka knife, scabbard and the two little blades for $25 from the 1 Ghurka Rifles kitshop in Kandahar for $50. And I was ready to pay twice.
