If I was cynical ( which of course I am not ) I would say it was about another seller with no ethics selling c--p to unsuspecting buyers with the only objective being to make as much money as possible, but I am sure that cannot be the case.

They ( E.C. Snaith ) originated as a proper Military Tailors based , with a shop,I think in Flint in North Wales but have come a long way ( not necessarily in the right direction ) since then.

P.B.

An original GMGR is certainly worth rather more than £6.90!
