Just saw this thread myself. I too collect British Indian Army and have always found much pre 22 material to be so scarce as to be in another world.
The badges in question would be among the more difficult to find as they were relatively short lived battalions.
There was a time not so long ago that Indian Army was cheap and had little interest. That has certainly changed.
I have dealt with (when I could afford it!) and exchanged email queries with Ashok on occasion over the years as well.
As an aside, I would like to see this forum elevate Indian badges up to another more visible section instead of being relegated to it's current rather insignificant standing to encourage more participation.
