Few RAF A/A KC
Maybe not the most exciting thing in the world, but I bought a £2 bag of A/A RAF buttons, cos they were sitting there in the antique shop looking a bit lonely, and I found a few little Gaunt KC's amongst them. Which was nice. Then I took pity on a little GS button sweetheart for the same price. Like I say definitely not the most exciting piece of militaria/button news but I thought I'd share anyway. Its been a quiet day.

Yes, carrying out your scorched earth policy around our flat bad lands, leave something for the rest of us.

Buttons possibly used as 'Cuff Links'.

Strange that they're anodised aluminium buttons though?
Then again, convenient that they don't need Brasso-ing. I have similar arrangements but they're "proper metal" Worcester's and ASC ones. |

If they are the small sized ones, with that fitting, may have been used on Mess Dress as I have QC ones on mine.

Plenty of stuff around our way Leigh, it's just I only do pocket money prices these days, which actually works out quite well as I seem to find some nice things that fit into my pocket money remit. Did I tell you about my new Queens Regt ice bucket? Thing of beauty and only £12, goes with my others nicely. Thank you for the info Bill, I was eyeing up a mess jacket today but I decided to behave and leave it alone |

Spend less on the booze, spend more on the badges Lil. I still think that's a nice little filigree silver RF sweetheart you picked up. |

Yep that filigree is lovely, was a really good find. Still none the wiser on its origin sadly. |

I know, should be a law against that sort of thing. In truth its a combo of being a bit busy, boringly sensible and hitting the gym so alcohol seems counterintuitive.

"Dry January" has certainly increased in overall popularity over recent years!

Very true! I just had a bit of a head start, on Christmas Eve I was in the gym at 6.30am, I've gone wrong somewhere!
