...and now to make things even worst for us abroad, is that some new regulation in the states scares the he** out of some long establish sellers ...... apparently they cannot sell "army surplus" to buyers from other countries.
Such is life.....

There needs to be a little common sense amongst the powers that be regarding import/export of harmless militaria for collectors. Last night on ABC news there was an expose about the vast amounts of commercial cargo that is carried on passenger airliners and that only about 10% of it is inspected! It was very telling to hear Gerald Arpey (C.E.O. of American Airlines) attempt to doublespeak his way out of that one! And of course, the vast numbers of containers that arrive on our shores are seldom inspected...but don't you try to export no door handles, you dang terroristical furriners!!!
I've now been waiting 6 weeks for an inert 2" mortar round I bought from an ebay seller from ol' Blighty...anyone willing to give odds that I'll ever see it? Anyone willing to give odds that I'm on some F.B.I. list for trying to import it? I thought not!
