Bugger I had to make a pact -- can't buy army stuff till August, a plus side she won't buy her rubbish also

I think this extremely rare visit the other night of this Tawny frogmouth Owl gave me the luck

Pics tomorrow of the haul

Interesting pieces.
Can be great to use for future militaria excange items, or for someone like me without wives.

Seems that there is one leather one per pack of twenty going by the two opened paper packages

Fantastic set- never even seen an Australian example before. I think there are quite a few collectors on here that would love a set if you decide to move on a few, myself included.

Cheers Mate, I'll see what I can do, just a little concerned on what you will get, should I sell? as I will leave them in sleeper condition, the wool thread is the first to turn to dust! but they are all complete!
