You mean John "Third place" Brandon?

Hi Dave, the cap has an awful cut to it too.

Cheers, Ade,

you're all to quick for me tonight, I'm getting my "lost" fix, so I'm a bit slow

Really sorry about the caps and tunic Dave, incidently what was the price? If the tunic was real and un messed with it would fetch about 5k

Here is one of these fake bird that has been cut front and back. Notice how the white thread on the back goes all the way to the top past the wings. If this bird was not cut that white thread would go right to the edge of the strip on which the bird is machine embroidered. This white thread on an original bird kind of loops back into the negative space of the design.

Also, another thing about these fake birds that I've noticed is that they usually come sewn on a piece of cloth so you can't see the tell-tell sign of the white thread.

I hope this helps.

Hi Dave, as I mentioned before, even a stripped Heer tunic has a value. It might be possible to turn this deal around if the price is right? Sell the repro insignia for what it is and rebuild the tunic back to Heer.

Cheers, Ade.
