Slow Economy

[16thIrishDivision]

Been overseas and away from this hobby for a couple of years.

Anybody notice the fall in supply of haube's?

EBay is full of re-pro's from south Asia, OK for what they are, but still.

The military antique websites, I buy off likewise aren't updating their stock range so much.

Just a general commentary, anybody notice this trend before?

I've noticed a lot more repros and fakes. A while back, my searches would yield maybe 45 to 50 spiked helmets, now with the others, world wide, I usually get 1,200 hits or so (but I have period photos / post cards, etc. in the mix too).

So, I guess that's not much help.

By the way, I hope all's well in Dublin... I love that city!
