Default Caterpillar Club Badge

Gents,

Does anyone know where I could possible find/purchase a replica Caterpillar Club badge?

I'm chasing one for an ex RAF/RAAF flyer from Australia who has lost his original one.

I have one but it isn't the best in the world, it's a bit bigger (I'd be looking for say a 5 quid plus P&P, I can get a pic if you want....), and it's not 100% right..... But I tried getting a replica and it was gonna be a 300 quid PP job. Although Irvin should be able to do one for him, if he's entitled.

Default Catapillar Club Badge

Hi Mick. This is a photo of a medal group to Mosquito pilot F/Sgt H.A.Corbin RAFVR which includes his catapillar badge...very small isn't it ? But I guess they were a very modest bunch ! This group is being offered in the forthcomming Spink Sale on 19th Nov. Goodness knows how much it will fetch..well beyond my means even if I still collected (which sadly I don't anymore). All the best, I hope you find one eventually at a reasonable price. Jeff

Thats the one I have, it is almost double the size and not a great likeness, but with caterpillars going for lots of money (mine was into 4 figures), they are are a cheaper alternative.
