Advice re price to pay please.
I have been offered the chance to purchase an 1802 pattern Royal Marines other ranks hat in good condition for its age. See the illustration (this is not the one I'm buying it was just the first image that came to hand!). Someone I know has finally agreed to sell me the one in his collection but I have no idea how much is a reasonable price to pay. I know these are pretty rare though so I don't expect it to be cheap!
Has anyone got even a rough idea of what is a good price?
Thanks
Pete
