Default Two signs

Neither of these are rare, but the ALFSEA sign is notable for being very well made and to have come out of a collection put together 1944-46 by an NCO serving mostly in India. When he returned home on demobilisation the collection went into his attic and remained there until it came my way c 15 years ago. The 1950s 25 Armd Bde sign is only unusual in that. although mint, it has been mounted on cloth backing and fitted with four press studs for wear on KD. The Brigade was formed in Tripolitania in July 1952 and with its parent formation 10 Armd Div was disbanded in Tunisia in March 1956.
