ekclete,
The air marshal was mine, I sent it to the show with a friend-dealer who also had some of my parade tunics. Shows are not really great for high end cloth, selling anyway; good for display, but these items rarely sell...I have them back now, so back on the list they go. Items like this sell on the list with no problem, usually before the lists are even done, but shows tend to attract more lower and middle level cloth buyers. I have sent items to shows with my friend-dealer and only once did a high end uniform sell, and it was to a guy I knew anyway. Headgear is better, some stuff sells pretty fast if its well priced and wartime. Flags also, if war time and well priced will go.
