Hi Alan,

The thing is that although this badge is from the rarer group of A/A badges within this 'rare' bunch it is still relatively common. There are far rarer badges than this out there which are usually missed.

I actually need one of these but I'm too tight to spend silly money on it preferring to possible swap for some rare pieces that I have. My latest acquisition, which I received this week, was a fair dinkum genuine Jewish Chaplains badge which has to be one of the rarest (if not the rarest) badge in A/A land. Although its official Firmin packet was mislaid I managed to source an image of badge and packet before it was posted on to me and the badge reconciles with others in manufacturing technique that I have seen.

It cost me 20 quid from a dealer...

Regards

Chris
