FGH beret on ebay - Caveat Emptor - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Good Morning all,

I spotted this on ebay this morning:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fort-Garry-H...p2056016.l4276

As with all items from this seller it is definitely caveat emptor. I had this in hand a couple of years ago and it is, in my opinion, not a good WWII beret. I bought it cheaply enough the first go around and once in hand it was evident that it was a post war beret and the badge and beret were married not too long prior to it being sold. Without going into too much detail I got the run around but eventually got my money back.

Just a heads up.

Thanks and have a great day.

Cheers,
Greg

Hi Greg, Thanks for the heads up. There are other offerings that are also suspect.

Par for the course with this seller I'm afraid. Sadly someone will purchase this as an original for decent coin. I miss the days when you could see who was bidding on ebay and message them directly.
