Default British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum Badge

I thought I would show a couple of "rare" badges not too often seen these days.
Both were a limited edition, cannot remember how many of each.
Top is the 1st issue
Bottom 2nd issue
Enjoy
Jerry

I remember these were produced around the time I first joined the forum - and was too shy to ask for one ( not sure I'd earned my stripes so to speak! ) - I think the design and quality is excellent - who produced them and are any still available? Tim

Tim , I think, from memory, that only 50 of each were produced and for the life of me I cannot remember who had them made... It may have been orasot ??

I have seen a couple for sale on eBay over the years but....
Maybe this may encourage the member to think about producing a 3rd batch for all the new (and older) members??
With regard to the "TRF" I do not think these will ever surface again unless the member (I think it was Ryan Cooper) decides to do so.

You don't, they are identical. The one purchased in February (if it was posted from Inverness) was a second issue.

I had marked my two 1 & 2 by scratching the number on the back.
Also if you look at the central crown No1 is (slightly) lighter then No2 crown.
(In my opinion)
I will be wearing them at Overlord, at Denmead near Waterlooville on Friday if you want a closer look. Please come and say Hello.
