Yes it is Gary,you could buy a nice DDM35 for that,how the world turns mate..........

[Harry Davey]

It looks nice, but £3000!!! You could buy over 10 fixed bails for that. Some people will go crazy for some camouflage paint.

Cheers

IF I spent that kind of money on a lid I want period photos of the guy wearing it and his first born.

[ruddersrangers44]

Oh so thats the reason Harry,wondered why there was so much dosh involved,obviously a rare thing of beauty,medic Lids don't fair any better,guess im sticking to the basic Steelpot............

Question : this soldier was in a mortar group, is it was necessery to put camo ? He was not on the front line.

[Harry Davey]

Nothing wrong with a basic M1, i understand it is rare, but i'm not sure if it is £3000 rare...... maybe i am just cheap.

[Harry Davey]

Good Point, Maybe he was the sort of guy who runs into battle firing his mortar from the hip

[lebus12]

Perhaps !
