It is frustrating at times to see a badge which I would love to own but it is way out of my reach financially. However, to me the joy in collecting is researching the history of a badge and the Regiment it represents. Some badges are really things of beauty and the craftsmanship in the design and their production is at times stunning. Some almost take your breath away. To own these wonderful things is a real joy. To finally own a badge one has wanted and searched for a long long time is brilliant....it is not an investment to be stuck in a drawer until the price goes up. It has a story to tell.
