Ralph Edwards on eBay UK.

These are a lot less common in good condition on the UK site than the US and no postal charges or VAT. Not my size but it might be a good buy for someone.

Thanks for the heads-up. That looks like a an almost mint G-1. Tempting.

Cor that went for a good price. I’ve been looking for a mouton G-1 myself lately, I’d have paid that-I probably saw that one and ruled it out because it was too small. Just goes to show they are out there, although I can’t believe how much they’ve gone up in price.

It was supposed to run for a couple of more days. I suspect that when things go for the starting price like this that a deal has been done where the lower price is declared to eBay to save on the rip off fees. You see a lot things go for very cheap prices, and they can't all be wives clearing out the old man's stuff without knowing what it's worth after he's moved out.

Here's another one in a big 46. Bit too big for me if I was in the market. Issue G-!s fit me in a 44 but I prefer new or nearly new nowadays.

I made an offer and have just scored that Ralph Edwards. The price for an early 1960s original in near-mint condition made it too good an opportunity to pass up....

 

[Southoftheborder]

Is that what you actually paid if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Lorenzo_l]

I made an offer for a slightly higher price actually, so as to clinch the deal. Again, thanks for the heads-up. I'll buy you a couple of beers when we meet!

Good for you guys ……. These jackets will continue to go up in price and are much better than spending your money on repro G-1s
( I know …. I need to give it a rest)
