Default Been a member for a while...

Howdy All,

Been a member of the forum for a while but haven't had the time to introduec myself to date. I have been reading with great interest the depth of knowledge that the various forum members have, and with not just a little jealousy the collections held. Reading through I have decided that it's not a bad thing to specialise in some areas and as my collections (yes collections - too many to do any of them true justice) have been scattered over 40+ years (not including the previous generations efforts), I will be divesting of some. First things first I need to decide on where I am going to concentrate. I guess the collections that I am closer to completing will be my priority.
Predominantly I collect Australian military metal right across the Boer War to current. However I also collect Australian and Welsh Police metal and patches.
I am not interested in selling but will be trading heavily to get my collections gaps filled. I'll be commenting where I can though my knowledge is limited to my short time in the service.
Thanks for taking the time to read my ramble.

Cheers Bill.

Muchas Gracias Roy!

I'm impressed Mercian... wasn't too sure anyone would know Glenrowan other than for the "Animated Theatre" show

Thanks Andy.
