Hello Roy,
Slightly off topic but noticing your collecting interests reminds me that when I started 'collecting' one of my early buys was a British WW2 despatch riders overcoat that I bought in the early 70s from a junk shop for 50p. This thing was HUGE and the weight of it! Even at 12 or 13, when I got it, I was above average height for my age this coat seemed to tower over me. And it was so stiff it could almost stand up without support or scaffolding.
My mother wasn't impressed with it and even though I long got rid of it - she still isn't!
Unless I chose to live in it, it was far too BIG to keep as an investment.
Steve
