Default How many different cap badges can you see?

I have found the Yorkshire Film Archive a fantastic source of information (especially for the York and Lancs and the 5th Y&L but I'll post a different thread about that).

For those who fancy their badge ID skills, here's a good test for you. Its only 12 minutes long and very Scottish biased but it is the Highland Games at Ripon after all (!) The crowd scenes are the most productive.

Grade yourself as:
Identify up to 6 cap badges-Junior Spotter
Identify up to 10 cap badges-Anorak
Identify more than 15 badges-Serious badgeophile

There's also a fair smattering of arm badges and shoulder titles but no extra marks for identifying these, just bragging rights!

Oh and watch out for the funny little fella at 4.45 minutes in!

Good luck.

Ivan
