i was under the impression that they wernt generally used in berets because they fall out. but the ones ive seen, maybe repro, have normally got a leather strengthener that the slider goes into. if not they have just been put through a small hole cut into the beret.

somebody else will answer soon.

i think it would be wise to start a new thread, in general topics, to ask this question.

HI Robin,

That is a bit worrying after what you told me about the large scale theft from the sorting office that the badges have to go through in the Netherlands

I suppose all we can do is hope for the best.

Regards

Ry

Hi,

I would not worry too much, I have never had a package / envelope gone missing, and I have received quit a lot of them over the last years. But I have the experience that it can take sometimes over two weeks before a package from the UK arrives..........
