Boer War Stetson

A friend of mine who is a dealer has a Canadian Stetson from the Boer War for sale. With it comes a set of four photos of members from the platoon of the original owner. Their names are written on the underside of the hat.


The hat is slightly moth-eaten but the brim is spectacularly flat and stiff. 




The original owner is second from the left.



Anyone interested in this should contact Russell Cassidy at   russell.cassidy@sympatico.ca



The price for the set could be $1,100.00 depending on the final asking price of the current owner.

And while you're on this page don't forget the world of reproductions. What Price Glory of California has many Boer War reproductions. Match this belt to tho Oliver Pattern belts being worn in the first photo.


And here's the famous Oliver Pattern water bottle that was smashed on landing in South Africa now soon to be released by WPG 



The original is on the right

Just out is the Lee Metford frog:


Infact all the Oliver Pattern equipment is available, or will be in a month.
