Well done on the responses, it just goes to show how this has been faked up and with the high price tag suggesting it’s pukka might dupe somebody. I feel sorry for people starting out.

Greetings Gerard.

Yes it is mine, , it's also in my Border Regiment Album, which incidentally I will be re doing with clearer pictures over the next few days.

All's well with me, hope the same with you.

Did you receive the email with the Territorial Middx pictures?

Regards.

Brian

Just imagine what he/she/we could have bought with that money instead of that heap of crap.

I sincerely hope the buyer discovers it's a wrong 'un and gets a refund.

Regards.

Over seven hundred quid, if current circumstances were different, you could certainly have a good night out!
