    Down here in the States we have thrift shops like St Vincent de Paul, Goodwill, The Red Shield and more. Halloween is Always a Great time to find old uniforms that imbecile families find in the attic and throw away to the resale shops(IF we're Lucky....many of them end up in the trash cans on the curbs). I've found far too many WWII uniforms and caps to count in such shops during this time of year. Sad to think, many of them end up being worn by stupid Kids as "funny costumes" and then get tossed. You'll see them with theater produced patches, insignia and who knows all what else. Sometimes Sterling silver rank badges and everything. So, by All Means-go out to the resale shops and see what's been donated and is on the "costume rack" for 2 bucks! Sometimes, you can be amazed! In the 60's, I remember seeing German uniforms(Not so much Today,unfortunately, but you never know what the families found in Grampa's attic when they cleaned it out! Once in awhile, you could luck out and find something that came from a family who had the bright notion of "We should drop this off at the Goodwill! Maybe some kid would like it for a Halloween costume!".

    Imagine the families surprise if they found out that instead of being some kids Halloween costume, it instead purchased by an adult who keeps it in his basement, never to see the light of day, for the rest of eternity
