Marked as sold. Will leave here as a reference. This badge is the scarcer pattern with the added Canada scroll.

Hi Bill,

I am 'very' pleased to say that I'm the new owner of this stunning set, so will of course post some images of my own when it arrives. Mike was a real gent to work with and very helpful in coming to a mutually beneficial arrangement.

A nice original 8th RECCE badge has been on my wants list for some time but of course I never hoped such a superb and rare set would come my way

Cheers, Roy.

Well my new badges just arrived and I'm thrilled..

A big thank you to Mike for allowing me to be the next owners of these beauties. It just doesn't get much better than this, as I have been on the lookout for a Recce cap badge for some time, but to find a set of cap and collars, maker marked in sterling silver 'and' with the rare Canadian banner - well what can I say, it 'really just doesn't get much better.

Here is my first attempt at a photo but will of course be playing around a bit tomorrow and get a pic up in my album too.

Pleased this one could stay in the forum family and big thank again to Mike.

Cheers, Roy.

Hi Gents,

For interest I have just loading up a nice image of this badge to my Canadian album and also more details (markings etc) to my Canadian makers markings album.

Cheers, Roy.
