10% off FSP for forum members.
I am also auctioning this handsome screw-back Honourable Discharge lapel pin, as ever 10% off FSP for forum members, plus a postage discount if you Buy it Now (10% of the proceeds to veteran's charity The Royal British Legion)...
In addition to my other listings, I am also offering (at a 10% FSP discount to forum members) this rather attractive 1 3/4" long vintage collar bar (or possibly brooch!)...
A selection of vintage items, as ever offering 10% of FSP to forum members, and all except the cufflinks still have BIN prices at the time of listing...
3 Questions if I may hog the thread: would you say this would be too loose on a US 7 3/8? Would it be possible to convert it back to a homburg (not to devalue your work, but a homburg is really what I want!) ? Finally, would you be willing to ship to the UK?
Many thanks.
Also up for sale some new (save for storage scuffs and rubs) Grasmeres by C&J; very handsome for a country shoe, in a wide fitting:

Thanks both; I've never seen a boat-tailed .303 before, which is not to say of course that they don't exist... Visually it reminded me of the Lebel bullets I used to occasionally find on the Somme, as pictured here: http://www.iaaforum.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9992
What intrigues me is...
I hope I may be excused since what I am sharing is neither a gun nor mine, but I wondered if any of you gentlefolk could identify the bullets used in the attached cufflinks...
I am chopping and changing my hat collection and have the following for sale:
Stetson Pinnacle: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150897493529&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
It's a nice hat, a decent size at a US 7 3/8 (UK 7 1/4, EU 59) in Beaver fur (which is why it was top...
You might try the Christy Adventurer or the Top Secret Hats slightly amended version (The Swerford):

These days I tend to to wear modern suits in classic blocks (T.M. Lewin do a nice, very English block which I like, and I have had a few suits made in a fairly classic style also) but with the combination of the right fedora it probably looks vintage to the untutored observer. Were I to lose...
A nice set of five (=set and a spare) buttons for white marcella evening dress waistcoats . The buttons match from the front, although the thickness varies slightly. They have new silver plate split rings:

I have a silver(tone) collar bar which is similar to the top two here; I rather like it as it mimics the effect of a collar pin. I also acquired one of the latter in classic safety-pin style from the same seller; luckily for my pocket they thought it was a diaper/nappy pin to be worn on the...
I like that jacket. It might be a good incentive to me to slim down! Are the holes/areas of shine illustrated on teh close-up photograph, and would you be willing to ship to the UK?
Many thanks,

I am quite happy wearing my English semi-spread collars (mostly on T.M. Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt shirts) with vintage attire, but another possibility worthy of considerationis to branch out into tunic shirts and wear them with either vintage soft turndown collars or reproductions of the same -...
