Having become satisfied as far as anyone can be that they were genuine, I digressed a bit to hunt a few selected wartime creations such as GMGR.

Apart from that, a fair amount of Foot Guards heavy metal: duty plates, valise badges etc.

And stopped.

I don't even look any more, being content. I no longer count as a collector!

And I would love to know whats missing to fill the holes on your board as they must be rare beasts.
