Title: Christmas has come early...but Avril does,nt know
Post by: bigwull on December 17, 2012, 12:02:33 PM
Was at an auction house on Sat...it has 5 halls..and 5 auctions going at the same time..from high end value antiques...down to general everyday items..but this item caught my eye..and ..well...he,s now mine...its a mix of genuine pieces and good quality reproductions..the mannequin was included...from what i have found out so far.. the Stahelm is genuine ca 1942.as is .the belt, and the boots..and the insignia on his tunic.the tunic looks genuine ..but  i,ve still got checking to do....He cost me £ £200 + 20% premium.......
I,ve got him  in the shed as Avril does,nt know about him yet.... ;D.
