    Aye. My favourite is the "genuine WW2 WAAF knickers dated '42" that are quite clearly a pair of modern bikini bottoms. Still crop up regularly too.

    Authentic British WW2 jacket? That was made in KOREA????? NO wonder she can't get it authenticated...

    Good Lord!

    Texson posted a list of goofy stuff like this on eBay. My favorite was a copy of Plato's Republic signed by the author!

    Damn, I wish I could buy that :( It would be a must-have for any collection :D And especially since it is made in Korea.

    I think we could nearly pick a "Most ridiculous e-bay 'Militaria' " item every day lol .... I do get a laugh sometimes reading certain descriptions ..... if I were you Martin i'd grab that jacket while you still can!

    I was very tempted, but I think I'll continue waiting for Guy Gibson's personal flying jacket and Satellite Navigation system to come on the market ( both signed by him - of course ! :cool:)

    My favorite item was serveral years ago when someone jokingly posted :rofl: Hitlers Testicles for sale and even provided a picture or two. They were actually two dried Prune Pits sitting on a plate :lol::lol::lol: Ebay quickly cancelled the auction and banned the person for posting it.
