thanx
Thanx chaps for the warm welcome, i am looking forward to participating in the forum. I have been going thru some threads and posts to see what sort of stuff is being talked about - and by the gods there is some knowledge out there, something that in the past would take me years to build via books or experience is all here NOW. Isnt the internet a wonderful godsend to collectors like us!
I do have some items which i will post about in the near future and some queries i hope will be answered. The helmet market like the badge market is swamped with fakes, forgeries and unscrutable sellers, I know i have already been duped by some ebay sellers and thats just my inexperience in a new field. But the last six months or so i have been a little more attentive to what i want to buy, rather than fall for the price of an item, and i have got to know the only military badge dealer in York, so he has helped me a lot.
Chris
