SAS Wine

I picked this up a few years ago at a wedding I attended.

It was a very nice drop indeed and a fine wedding, and I thought it would be of interest to a number of you.

Jon,

the RNZSIGS cap badge is just that. You don't have to be posted to the NZSAS to wear that I'm afraid. (although most who are, do).

There is no specific cap badge for signallers posted to...

Billy,

I think if you were to look at this as a bulk purchase and average around 5 quid per item, then you will no doubt pay over for some (like the ACF shooting badge or the single pip) and under...

Thanks James.

When I opened the parcel this morning and saw the makers mark, I was over the moon.

Wish it could have been a pair.

I absolutely love the wee South African one.

The Lowland Regiment feels like it should be an Eastern European car badge.

Happy with the feedback on the CLY collar.

Thanks again for knowing...

Australian Rising suns

Wouldn't mind an opinion on the following cap sea collars.

I'm suspect about the Australian Instructional Corps collars, although I'm pretty sure the rest are ok, just want to confirm ages etc.

Opinions

Would love an opinion on my Monmouth's cap badge.

Just discovered it in a job lot I picked up, has a F.E. Woodward B'ham stamp on the rear.

I like it but I always value a second opinion.

Opinions please Ladies and Gentlemen

have a gander at these little beauties (or not as the case may be).

Not sure if any of them are original, as I'm always a little sceptical of a little too much polish residue.
