I hope to get it out this year. You have seen a bit already and it is undergoing technical peer review at the moment although is missing some CCN and COSA details. It looks like we may have managed to sort out the CCN of 1953 which was 'published' via change C 5549 but there are a few CCN and COSA documents that I'm still missing to complete the task to my satisfaction and to ID all the A/A badges that were officially authorised for issue.

I also have a lot of photography to do and will be meeting up with a shooting colleague on Tuesday to check his camera equipment and lenses to check for the manual setting of white background and its suitability for A/A silver and gold badges. I hope to be able to take photos so that they 'float' on the page without any photo frame showing. Also to do quality close ups down to the machining marks that are left on the inside of some lugs that were used by multiple manufacturers.

If this goes well I will buy similar equipment in a few weekend times and get on with the piccy taking.

The book will consist of around 30 chapters and 10 appendices, 450 odd pages of A4 in hardback. Hopefully it will be of interest to non A/A collectors especially in regard to manufactures, their marks, sliders and lugs.

I'll list the chapter names and appendices when I get a mo - let me know if interested and I'll get on with it.

Regards

Chris

Andy

Hi Andy,

You should find the article on the A/A Welsh Guards badge quite interesting. You have some of the info from official documents but there are a few bits and pieces that I kept from you...

Regards

Chris
