The Skeleton has a bone to pick....

Here's a rotter to rival military-bogus-uk. We've seen reproduction felt Tschakos before, but evidently the time has come for the spurious "Pelmutze" to appear (you guessed it) in the United Kingdom.

I've had my own dealings with this scourge regarding an RN topee. Fortunately, I lost no money, but his attempted fraud was a colossal waste of my time. In fact, you can read my feedback courtesy of goofbay:

This offering represents the ultimate rip-off. Not only would allwin79's patsy be investing in a counterfeit, but he would probably never even receive it.

Caveat emptor!

I agree it is new and that probably is it's original plate .The Russian or Polish labels i like .(ha ha) .I will probably pick up a repop war tim Hussar busby ,but not from him .I deal with repro people that sell for that purpose repro .Re-enacting I am not going to wear a piece of head gear that cost's more than my mortage payment.
Thanks for the warning .
I am no expert on Busbie but "the cloth bag is the colpack I think.)

Thank-You for the heads up, Chas. Fraud schweins like this, should be ripped from Ebay and cast into the gutter. Why doesnt Ebay cut him off?
