What's the exchange rate?
[just want an idea of the starting bid, which seems high]

As for the badges, some good some bad.

And by a "well respected militaria expert"

A well respected Militaria expert in the UK has confirmed that the badges in this collection are 100% authentic.

Hi John,

The Militaria expert must be as knowledgeable as myself, the difference being that I know how little I really know ??

Hello Dave,
We're doing fine, thanks. Could do with a week of gentle rain though. Ground is drying out and there is a fire risk in our area.
Cheers, John
