One for the future? Sadams Fedayene

[GasMasksUK]

I have some interesting info, a while back I bought some captured Iraqi items from a soldier who had just returned from the fighting. It was a small job lot of kit, I mainly bought it for the Iraqi M85 Gas Mask, I sold the helmet, identical to the one above because helmets arent really my area of interest and I seen and nice ASBR which I eventually bought. Heres the bit you will find interesting, I put it up on ebay, just a basic auction, not mentioning anything spefic, quite vague to be honest. It sold for £75! and there were 4 different bidders, so there seems to be people after them! I'm sure if it exists, someone collects it. I was speaking to a hedge trimmer collector today, and he though I was odd

Thanks
