Trench Clubs

Just had a thought Justin,

original trench clubs may be very hard to find, certainly to prove their provenance will be hard so i wonder if its worth you just going for a pretty good repro? At least you would know what it was, it wouldnt have cost you a lot and would be a talking point to anyone who viewed your collection.
i am thinking the same re my collection of WW2 Denison smocks. I cannot ever wear the originals for fear of damaging them so actually, what is it worth having them? I can and do wear the repros[no ime not a Walt, i did earn my wings], so ime sure i will be selling them soon.
Just a thought bud.

What or who is a 'Walt'?
 
Hi Andy,

Thats not a bad idea, as you say it wil be difficult to obtain one that you could ever be confidant about and there is nothing worse than having a item in your collection that you have doubts about!
