The baggy green cap Sir Donald Bradman wore on Test debut has sold for $450,000.
Australian businessman Peter Freedman, founder and chairman of electronics company Rode, bought the cap which was passed in after the initial online auction ended last week.
The week long auction for the cap, given to the legendary Australian batsman in 1928, managed a highest bid of just $391,500.
