POPSKI LIBYAN ARAB FORCE BADGE
 

This was the Libyan Arab Force cap badge that Popski was a Company Major in.
See the thread

Badge must rate even rarer then a LRDG badge?

There is some information here which I hope is helpful.

Is the badge, the subject of this thread, for the collar or cap? Placed near the ruler it looks around 25mm diameter.

An earlier thread suggested the headdress badge was 44mm and the collar "slightly smaller".

I would like to buy a LAF cap badge and collars and would be grateful for any assistance...

Enjoy the hobby, Keith

Great to see being worn by Haselden - an iconic character!
There should be a book about his exploits if there is not one already.

Belt

I have a small (probably collar) on a belt - good context! Quite a period covered by the badges including pre WW2 Black Watch unless this was retained in Middle East. Also a mix of nations - police/military. Extract images attached


I could also do with the large version LAF if there is one out there, another collar would also be good ... any help appreciated, always interested in such items.
