Denison arrived and happy to say apart from no tail is a nice Size 3 59 Patt so well happy.

 

At the same time I bid on what was described as an army bag,looked like a German Bread Bag and at the price even if it turned out to be a Post War DDR one,at the price would have been happy-just arrived and its an original WW2 German HJ Bread Bag complete with its nice and clear RbNr stamps:nut::nut::nut:

I'm struggling to see the originality in this piece of kit. It bears no resemblance to any of the known patterns and is identical to the dozens of aged fake trench clubs with various dates and regimental markings churned out by the Delville Wood fake factory, with which knowledgable collectors of WW1 British militaria are well acquainted.

I assume this is an honest mistake and that the listing will now be ended while the dubious provenance is investigated.

"British Army beret" on sale by Monsieur Hogspear - no it's not, it's a CD beret with the CD markings folded out of sight in not one, but both photos of the interior. I'm sure that's pure coincidence and not a cynical attempt to make a few £ more. Compare with another listing in the image below, which btw also claims to be Army but at least the CD code is plainly visible.
