Those of you with a penchant for collecting uniforms and military memorabilia, may find one of the items for sale at Manion's International Auction House to be of interest.
It is a dress uniform owned by Saddam Hussein.
The uniform will be placed in the company's "gold auction".
John Conway, a representative for Manion's Auction, said:
"This is the second Hussein uniform we have presented for auction since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The first was brought back by an Army NCO and sold for $24K."
The uniform was obtained by an army sergeant, during the first night that US troops gained control of Baghdad International Airport. The uniform was taken from a tailor shop, and was among many suits and outfits designed for Hussein.
The company will donate a percentage of the commission from this uniform to a charitable concern.
