Hello Brian, You certainly did start badge collecting a bit before me, although I don't think you're ever too old, just as long as you can still see 'em! I'll be needing 80 candles on my next...

I now have a new member in my RIF trio, although nothing much seems to have changed from the front, I'm pleased to report that all three are now cap badges? (Hooray!)

I'm watching this little item on eBay with great interest, £100.58, so far, and almost a day and a half to go! I'm quite sure that this piece would be a ideal replacement for the OSD collar that I...

I'm assuming that 1918 is considered rather late for the loop and tab type fitting? There is an RIF S/P badge that I've been looking at, this has much the same sort of fitting, it's unmarked, but...
