Surely part of the this hobby is the chase, trying to find that badge you have always wanted and at a bargain price if possible. That's why as a Man in my fifties I still plod down to as many rainy car boot sales, sift through endless piles of tat in Antique shops and constantly question any one who will listen as to whether they still have relatives Wartime items.

Keep on looking, its still out there somewhere!
