Hey Rene, Yes in Melb at the moment but relocating to Canberra soon thanks to the government. Ben at Antik (in Ballarat) has quite a few reasonable AIF tunics in great shape for around the $250-350 mark. I recently sold an almost mint 1943 HQ New Guinea Force tunic (acquired from the family) for $350, and I'd be hoping to get a bit more than that for a more difficult to acquire British Home Guard tunic. I think my start price is very reasonable and on a good day with the right seller (very hard to do on eBay) would go for more than that. Cheers & thanks for the interest though my friend! Jim

The Zeltbahn with the bullethole? Sold that ages ago. I wish I still had that one! Is it still on the Forums here?
Yes, the Minister of War (wife) isn't looking forward to the move ;-)
Cheers!
