Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I am surprised it has not been removed from fleabay.
If you notice, there are no straightforward shots of the cap (the seller claims its per ebay's symbol rules). Quite a leap of faith for that price...

The seller has clearly failed to show close up photos of any part of the cap, and if he is expecting to get that much money for it, he needs to provide many more pictures for sure.

I checked the web site, and it seems like the same cap, seems like a very nice cap, and insignia set.

The cap shown on fleabay is the same cap shown on Keith's site. He sold it a while back, and it is a good cap. Now my question is....... Is this the same cap which this seller has put up for auction? He's using photos that do not belong to him. Why use old photos and not your own?
It could be a scam, but if it's gen, then at £1500 it's a bargain.
My thoughts exactly Paul
If this cap is original, he should atleast have taken his own pics... ATLEAST...
The cap on Keith's site looks good, but it needs a hands-on.
I doubt he sold it for the starting price it is listed at on Ebay, which, coupled with the re-used pics, makes me suspicious....
