so, lots to talk about on there site at the moment.............
First off the line is the Norfolk yeo shako, lets just set the record straight, that shako was in F.A. Stones military tailors here in Norwich in 1979, just like that, it was on a shelf high up, along with many other hats. I photograph it then, and was told the badge was just added to the helmet to make the display better looking. The contents of the shop where sold about 10 years ago, when they moved shop.
Second, The GT.Yarmouth and Gorleston H.G. Rifle and Pistol Club badge is not correct. A good one is shown on the red cloth. I currently have there records, and accounts. This badge was still being sold in 1962, so maybe still worn then.
Third, The Eastern div signs............. words fail me. see photos enclosed. Really surprised the words trial pattern, samples, prototype, rare, makers error haven't been used on these.
