Cloth Conundrums.

3 Attachment(s)

Hello to everyone,

I am attaching photos of another group of badges from my collection that I am finding it very difficult to identify. This time a selection of cloth patches. There is quite a mixed bag here. If anyone can shed more light onto these then it is very much appreciated as ever.

Regards
Bill

Many thanks for that Wooffy. That one had given me hours of searching to no avail!

That sounds really interesting Zob thank you. Could you tell me a bit more about number 3? I can't find a reference to it on the net.

Thanks

Hello Bill, No 18 is 21 ENGR GROUP. Comes in printed and embroidered.
No 6 is similar to a couple of RE signs but I cannot definitely ID it. Sorry :confused: I will keep trying.
I have come to the conclusion that No 6 is not RE.

Hi Thanks for getting back to me on these queries. No 6 has been a long-standing puzzle. If anyone can solve it you can!

#10 & #21

Good day Bill,

No. 10 is from Sri Lanka, for a special police force unit.

No. 21 is Norwegian, for the brigade located in the north of the country. The colour is new to me as I have examples (in attached photo) that I acquired on a fly-over ex in the mid '80's.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Ian

Hello Ian B

Thank you for identifying numbers 10 and 21. From your excellent info I have managed to find out a bit more about the red variation. It is 6th division Norwegian army (presumably still part of the Brigade Nord?)

I have seen the green and black colours of the Sri Lankan patch before on a Special Task Force shoulder title but would not have made the connection without your help.

Thanks again
Bill
