Hi Destro1918,
Thanks very much for that.I must say it's a very nice varied collection.As I have already written I do especially like the enameled Republic of Ireland and Guernsey 70's badges.
I will try and get some pics up for you.

Hi Destro,

I found your old post while I was doing some resarch on line. First of all, very impressive collection that you have gotten there? By any chance, I mean with all respect, would you sell or swap the Pre 1997 Hong Kong (ER older style) badge?

It will mean a lot to me! Thank you very much......

Hi gents, I've got one or two new additions to my collection that I will post when time permits (and i remember). Destro, I'd love to see the IOM PS items a bit closer if you could photograph them again.

Bantam, I have a few select HMP Jersey items myself that once found (I moved house remember) I will try and post on here.

Do either of you have any MPSC badges? I have some and a few patches as well.

Seekcomp, I have been offered the badge you are interested in and have seen it around over the years, so it/they do still do exist. I will only add Colonial HMP items to my collection if they are basically the same with a very very slight difference so I normally ignore them. I will keep my eye open for you though and bare it in mind as I do for all the guys that want Palastine Prison items lol.

Hi HMPbadges,
It's good to see that you are still with us.It as been a while since there have been any contributions in our collecting field.I must say I'm a little intrigued by your comments regarding Palestine Prisons were you referring to my recent epaulette purchase ?

Hi HMPbadges,
Decided to submit photo so that others may want to comment.It comes with pretty good provenance and I was fully aware of that when I purchased it.

Hi Bantam and everyone else, I know a guy of a very senior age that was in both the Palestine Police and Prison Service's and try to keep an eye out for items for him as he basically has so much in his collection that I would like in mine. So it's a sweetener really lol.

My problem with this site (and maybe for others) is that I am not updated by email who is talking etc anymore, I only stumbled across the further posts from Destro's original photo by accident tonight, so nice to see people talking and contributing.

One recent find (I have other items)
