    Old Wormser Bankaru Help

    I think I like to keep it for now. I'm with you there. I only paid a couple dollars for it. The guy who reblocked it for me originally felt bad about the sweat band, so he didn't charge me anything. I like it a lot and I'm sure I would like it more if it fit better, so I would like to...

    Old Wormser Bankaru Help

    FS: Early 80s horsehide Averix A-2 (40R) - great shape

    Shipping to Sweden I talked to my upstairs neighbor who is starting up her own eBay business. She said she would be glad to take care of the shipping and all the details if you are interested. If you email your email, I'll put you in contact with her. My email is bilbe@me.com.

    Mailing to Sweden I will check into shipping costs to Sweden. I've never done it and am not sure exactly what it involves, e.g., how duty charges work. I won't be able to check until next Tuesday though. I'm going to be out of town until then. Tack! --Bill B.

    I love the coat actually. If I thought I would fit in it again, I'd definitely keep it.

    FS: Early 80s horsehide Averix A-2 (40R) - great shape

    Okay, I'm giving up on eBay. I have early 80's horsed Averix A-2 (size 40R). I’m asking $149 including shipping to the lower 48, but I will consider offers. Back in ’82 or ’83, I wanted a horsehide jacket, but couldn't find one so I had to special order it. It's just a standard 40R that's...
