My 7 Regt Eagle is White on Red - Are you thinking of a differant version?



Looking for an Oval Catering Support Regiment patch myself, I have the oblong example.

No, this is the 2nd pattern. Until Marc posts image, I can only describe 1st pattern as : Same size, Naval Crown above the Commando fighting knife, embroidered black on green.

OK found it in Marc's book - should have looked first, but remembered I had seen an example on Crest Insignia site, not thinking it was 2nd pattern.

Sorry...

Yes I should have picked up on that as its an area I collect to - Was thinking about 8 Regt being disbanded - Thats my excuse anyway.

I do have another example of Polish Eagle, but not sure of its origin?



But later small Black on Sand 7 Regt example from Cyprus has the same shape?? All pictures of patch in wear in Bosnia are as at Post #10

Mike, that is the one I am missing, I was told it was to replace the white one, but it did not happen! A very large version sold on eBay a few weeks ago for a large sum.

FPGRM 1st Pattern, also a couple of the others.

43 Commando Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines added to my list.
