For the Lancashire Fusiliers - his products are not authorized.

His WW1 products have been discussed before.

Just to check I bought one of his WW1 British SD tunics - product did not match e-bay photo
and the ("cited" in his so-called historical description of the coat) brass buttons were plastic.

The moral of the story- stick with known sources. Pretty much everything is covered one way or the other by decent vendors (with a few exceptions).

Ebay should be used with great caution and definitely not for uniforms. Benefit from the experience of those who have gone before and save yourself some grief.

Just to add a little to what John & Adam have put forward. The older and wiser of us have had many dealings with various sites / vendors over the past, and have accumilated a vast store of knowledge. In your own unit, there will most probably be someone with greater knowledge than yourself. All of us will be only to willing to help anyone out.. with a view to getting it correct historically, and saving other individuals cash.

The basic road to take is this... "If in any doubt : ASK!!!"
