Hi woronora,
I would hate to mis-inform you but in my opinion, if that was a genuine badge, I doubt if it would be on ebay with an SP of £6.99, I know there are always bargains to be had but ????? My Aberdeen Militia badge cost me £90 ??? I could be wrong of course ?? Dave. |

I am sure it is factually correct but what an amazing coincidence that the dealers father was a collector of militaria !!!!
P.B.

Do you remember the advert with Martians, it was in fact voted the best advert ever, if I remember correctly.
"They peel them with their little knives...............then they smash them all to bits". For Mash get Smash. An advert for ready made/powdered mashed potato. Look at the seller's name, a bit of a clue. Not the real thing. Regards Brian |
