Hi, I am looking for one of the Imperial Soilders hats, not three corner type, but taller hat with integral black feather. Does anyone have one to sell or trade? I desperately need one, but could use more. Regards, Jason (26 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

  Re: Half price 8448 from Argos

  Re: Half price 8448 from Argos
 
(...) Bummer! Is that number reflecting the stock at *one* store or UK total stock? I saw the original post, but I didn't think I had to act *that* fast to get one! My fault I guess :) Richard (26 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Thanks for the tip. I called them up earlier (~3pm). I bought 3. During the time I was on the phone (3 minutes). The stock of these went from "over 16" to zero.
