Hi all wasn`t sure where exactly to post this so humour me if you think I`ve got it wrong!!
Still here in dreary Brussels so went out to Waterloo Market to see if anything worth buying.
Got some nice brass shell cases (75mm, 205, 40mm, 20mm, 12.7) & managed to haggle with a few of the sellers - most of them though all went on about the price of brass!!!.
I know of one other collector who has a fair few spare/damaged cases that he is keeping ready to take to the scrap yard. Seems a shame to me but I suppose that at the end of the day if it is worth more in metal value & you need the money/space then it is inevitable.
Anyway, more to the point, I was wondering if we will see a rise in prices or less brass available due to this?
Waterloo market is still great to go to - plenty of helmets, bayonets & knives - so worth a visit if your in the area on a Sunday.
I`m saving my pocket money now for the Wavre Fair 1st sat in oct.!!!
