Default Superb Detail OSD

You cannot substitute the quality and detail of some of the early badges.

Not a particularly rare badge but a superbly crafted example! The detail in my opinion is absolutely outstanding, in particular the fleece, the facial features and the attention to detail!

Even down to the free hanging tail and rings on the flagstaff!

One of those badges you could never tire of looking at! All that is missing is whether it is Ewe or Ewan

Andy

(It may have something to do with it being a sheep and me being Welsh, but it is still a very attractive badge!)

Now Andy can get his hands on twins, possibly triplets !!! The only way to have a sheep is with mint sauce and potatoes

Many of the turn of the century badges were absolute works of art in terms of the die sinker's craft. That's one of them, the Royal Berkshire Regt was another beaut.



This has been released on the internet, it's a brief synopsis from the latest Mills and Boon Novel called The Welsh Lovers

"We met in a secluded field, the sun nearly kissing the evening horizon.
The warm breeze was full of that earthy, musky scent
that only those fortunate enough to live outside the urban rat race know,
and a quiet whispering of leaves in the weeping willow overhead added the final touch to the most romantic scene.

We lay there, both naked. I knew I had to have her, and have her now.
Without a word being spoken, I moved to a position of dominance. I
could feel instantly that this was what she was waiting for as she
frantically thrust her pelvis at my approaching organ. I moved slowly
at first, inch by inch, until I was fully inside her. Then as the
tension rose, we threw caution to the wind and abandoned ourselves to
the moment. Although inexperienced, she approached every change of
position with enthusiasm, moaning with despair every time I
withdrew to prevent myself ending it all too soon. As the sexual tension
heightened towards the inevitable mind blowing climax, it was all I could do to
hold out any longer. Finally, the moment we had been building
up to was upon us, and passed all too quickly.

Breathlessly we rolled together in the now damp grass. As the
last deep orange glow of the long setting sun melted into the darkness of
approaching night, we lay there still entwined in an amorous
embrace. I kissed her long and lovingly, and whispered reassuringly how good she
had been.

She tenderly and sensuously licked my inner ear then whispered,


'Baaa' and rejoined the flock.

It's certainly got a worried looking expression.
