One of the 'tall orb' dodgy gun badges. I don't think I've ever handled a good one. Regards, Paul.

Cheers war dog I agreed imagine a youngster looking at this though it looks the part if you’re not sure. I don’t know if I’d start collecting now but I’m pleased youngsters are taking it up.

I agree with you David,but some of the modern regts have a large amount of badges and related insignia. You think you have an easy task,but it becomes harder as you go along.
