dond Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Check out the reverse. Pretty interesting set up but that's not it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Being an inquisitive sorta of guy I decided to look under the padding in the box. You never know what you might find. Now, this is it. Tell me this is a lock of hair from the owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me this is a lock of hair from the owner?Considering the length, more likely from his wife/girlfriend/female relative.Or his favorite horse Edited March 24, 2008 by Tom Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christerd Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ha Ha Ha Now I will always keep my boxes closed, who knows what could be found inside.... Maybe a new area for collectors? I saw that some time ago someone sold a hair from "Red Baron " on EBAY maybe this is the rest? Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 hmmmmm... the goat scenario must bring back members to old soldiers? I think its is probably sheep hair, sent as aphrodisiacs to commonwealth soldiers as part of their X-Mas package... the "FA" actually means "From Australia" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 That is my thoughts exactly. The reverse set up is unique too. Looks more suitable for a funeral pillow than for wear on a uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
