I bought myself lots of insignia & berets & I got more for "Surplus Supplies of Cambridge which I passed on to them at cost price.
At that time you could buy headgear & rank insignia but I was unable to buy cloth formation signs, being told it wasn't allowed.
In Ben Yehudah there were a few surplus shops where you could find old respirators, dust goggles & the like.
All those places will be long gone, but try contacting Alex at "Historiama", he sells militaria & perhaps he can steer you to other outlets:

Some Israel based sellers offer items like insignia & berets on eBay, try contacting them in the hope they have suitable stuff that you can pick up? |
Thanks Leigh, this is appreciated. Good to have an address for shop, it is near the area where we are likely to be living. We have yet to finalise a flat yet!
