rick_waldroup3 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hello, I purchased an old bag of ebay for 15.00. It is canvas and leather and looks very much like a Billingham. However, I can find no name whatsoever on the bag. The only markings on it is a spot on the leather that says "Made in England" and on one of the zippers it is marked "Opti". The bag has no velcro at all. All stitches and snaps, including the inserts inside. The bottom is unusally well padded. It appears to be fairly old and it resembles a Billingham but I am not sure if it is one or some type of knockoff. Anyone know? Thanks, Rick.

klix Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I give up... what kind of bag do you have? SWAG - either a knock off or an old version of a Billingham bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DELETE THIS ACCOUNT Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 <p><em>once again a bunch of...</em></p> <p>Oh come now... that's big harsh, isn't it? In your <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00IbTw">last post</a> before this thread your last post back in October you said the following (in a thread about Photo Journalism):</p> <blockquote><p><em>Us Texans love our Cheetos and guns. What would life be without the two? When we're not busy blowing the hell out of each other, we like to enjoy an original Texas delicacy. And going to Wal Mart is as Texan as going to the Alamo. Brad, you're an alright dude, I like you. You should come to Texas, you would fit right in. :)</em></p></blockquote> <p>In this thread I see a bit of sense of humour; in your previous post in October you'd done the same. Why has it escaped you today?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Well, from the description I am 100% sure it is the bag I sold for 5 bucks (cause it was not worth more). You have been ripped off paying $15 LOL ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akajohndoe Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 It looks to be Richard Thompson's old kit bag to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
