The link (as do any others relating to militaria) mentioned in this forum produce this irritating result:
"Dear User:



Unfortunately, access to this particular category or item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in your home country. Based on our discussions with concerned government agencies and eBay community members, we have taken these steps to reduce the chance of inappropriate items being displayed. Regrettably, in some cases this policy may prevent users from accessing items that do not violate the law. At this time, we are working on less restrictive alternatives. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we hope you may find other items of interest on eBay.

Thank You. "

Had a look at the pics, looks ok, and if the carrier is as good as the verbal description then it looks like a good buy. It equates to @ $Aus 6000 which is a fairly common carrier price here in Oz, although the last "restored" one went for $Aus16,500.

I know this carrier. Someone emailed me these pics about three years ago, and asked for an evaluation. I tried to set up an appointment to see it, but never got any response. It looks like a good prospect, but unfortunately, like the other fellow, he seems to have been bitten by the Ebay Bug. It'll be interesting to see where this one goes.

This has something to do with the language settings on your computer. Alter the set-up of your machine to US only. Can't walk you through it because you use an Apple, right?

Yes I use a Mac, but it's only been in the past year that this problem has showed up...
I might investigate further.

Thanks, Hanno.

Bidding went up to US $4,550, but it failed to sell because the reserve was set on 5 grand. I'd go after it because it looks like more than good prospect!

Hi there

It says the carrier is near Peterborough. Hmmmm, I wonder how 'near' is near.

Toronto-types tend to lump everything north of 7 and east of Scarborough as 'near Peterborough'
