Will post pictures of the backs later! Ask which ones you want me to take pics of!
These are all of the badges I found minus most of the ones I took in the last picture.
My Questions: What is the 36th badge I have? Rarity?
Any special neat ones?
Most of this needs to go, but I would like to keep a few for myself. I need a collar and 2 shoulders for my Eatons Machine corps set!
I'm keeping the hats but wanted to share them- I like the 8th fusillers busby- unusual to actually find a cap badge on a cap 
Enjoy! |
Hello Capbadge,
In addition to seeing your newly acquired collection of cap badges also enjoyed the RAF Type "B" Flying helmet, complete with Mk VIII googles and Type "G" Oxygen mask. Have its companion Fleet Air Arm Type "C" helmet comparably equipped, that as I can best recall was partially acquired at Crown Surplus in Calgary, decades ago (1976). See attached image.
Thought you might possibly be interested in an article I wrote for my blog page a few years ago;

Best regards,
