Off message a bit?
The title of this post drew me in...
I am currently a reservist. Some of my units trade badges seem never to have been available, or at least not in the memory of my major unit! I have seen 1 which was manufactured c 1968.
So we normally OFFICIALLY, or with tacit approval, employ Gurkha badges & obtain same via official channels, for those not available as the colours are just reversed.
I have just had made a small batch of a rather obscure one.
If they are the correct colours & ARE being worn when do they qualify as 'official'.
In my humble opinion if a badge is worn it's REAL.
