I was looking at this item.Merchant Navy Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) Epaulettes Slip OnI used to be in the merchant navy as a Radio Officer (I even had to do a rescue our ship where the titanic went down). However I have lost one of the sleeve gold braid. I asked this seller if he knew of someone that would sell one like that to me.He private emailed me that he could have them made. I supplied a picture of one of them first. He replied a pair of them would cost £45 and would take about 3 weeks. I am now trading outside the norm and wounded if something went wrong. I could pay by credit card I suppose as this does give me some protection. Any advice on this?
