Having read the threads and posts dealing with the issue of badges, slidered and minus sweatholes to the TF bttns I thought I would add three pictures from my collection to the forum to stimulate gentle discussion. I bought all three of these in the early 1990s in Nottingham under the careful tutorage of John, a man of near mythical proportions who 'really knows his stuff' and made sure I had a firm grounding in the collecting world. they are
1. Essex, definitely not the cyclist battalion as there are relatively common. No sweat holes.
2. South Lancs, a real solid badge, great patina and solid as a rock.
3. Middlesex, four neat hangers and a 'springy' slider.
