I'd love to have a couple BUT it annoys me enough seeing non military people in combats and wearing a beret and capbadge they've not earned the right to ware.. let alone going duel standards and turning out in a county crested helmet when I've not been selected on merit to represent them in a county championship game :(

Still, an england, australia, surrey, worcestershire one is tempting though :)

How often do you see that lol?

You'd be surprised bud. Lot's of wannabee's around.  Or people suddenly claiming they've done the commando course, 22 selection or P Coy etc

I expect there's probably more of that up in Cheltenham than there is down here. Are the SAS there now? I expect its pretty obvious to spot the fake SAS troopers, as real ones wouldn't be stupid enough to go out wearing their uniform!

not in chelt bud, they are still where they've always been.

Chelt luckily only has a base for my old trade, so whilst they are military they aren't the combat arms who are a bit more 'rough' (sorry to any combat arm guys here but just look at colchester, bulford, aldershot as example!)

Saw some "interesting" incidents in Aldershot whilst I lived in that area....

I have just amended my first post to show more pictures and give size indications. What is pictured are the counties/nations that are available, but there may be alternative size options that i can get hold of, so please ask. I know i cannot get Essex L-XXL but i haven't checked anything else yet.

How have you acquired these if you don't mind me asking? They look sweet as though, but like Cam said you would be open to loads of abused and look a tit missing your first straight ball

We are helping a friend in the industry shift some stock from a company he no longer deals with, hence the cheaper than standard price for something that normally isn't ever for sale at all. :)

Have you got any yorkshire lids?

Or rubbish enough that its pretty obvious youve never got anywhere near a county side and have the helmet by chance.
