Hi Mark,

Thanks for that mate. Re the 'pagri' pin, that's just me being generic I'm afraid, as you say it could indeed have been worn on other headdress.

As for it's size mark, this is not small but full size at 47mm in hight, so certainly a headdress badge. I know of the small (30mm and under) collars you speak of with pin fittings and yes these are indeed collars and this is not one of those.

I do have an A/A badge in my collection; number 009 and very pleased to have it too. I will be on the look out for other examples as I know there is at least one more to get. Re the plastic examples, yes I will grab one of these when I see one that I really like, so it's on my 'to-get' list. I have seen a few but not one that really speaks to me yet and as they are quite common, not a huge priority right now.

Cheerio,

Roy
