I was going to change it as I have a 12th SNCO lance cap and all the uniform fittings . However this uniform when I got it was in mint condition the auction photos had not done it justice so 9th it stays.

Sounds good, worth keeping as is - and seeking out another lance cap? (I'm sure they don't cost much).

I actually just passed my 9th on. Never mind I can wait I have other projects to do. I wont be paying trader prices most of them want £1000 +. Actually Two went at Tennants last month both under £500. Both were on ebay in a matter of hours for £1200 each.

There's a surprise - eBay - kirchinggggg!!!
They're nice items but out of my league even before the profiteers start adding zeros to the prices.

much better to build up a good relationship with other collectors on sites like this, I have been given some fantastic support and deals over the years.
