What is meant by "mock-up" - is that original pieces but put together to make a fantasy uniform?

THERE is allot of this going on in fact it is a cottage industry in HOLLAND right now. BUY some plain BDs SEW ON SOME GREAT INSIGINA make a big buck. You have to be aware of sewing techniques and be very alert nowadays

there are more bogus uniforms out there than people wish to admit me thinks

Hi All,
How much is too much, I just wanted to add my 2 penny’s worth (or is that too much). When I started collecting many years ago, I would scratch in shops bargain and scrap bins, would never think of paying more than 10 Rand (50p) for a badge. Then I was given my first Sgt Maj of a force badge (SA Air Force) and found out that there were only 7 badges in the set (1980’s) that was SM:SADF, SM:SA Army, SM SAAF, MAA:SA Navy, SM SA Medics, SM:Inspector General and SM:Quartermaster General. The next 2 badges I paid 100.00 Rand each for, then 150.00 Rand, now I only need 1 more (SM:Quartermaster General) to complete the set. How much will I pay for it, who knows, but please offer it to me if you have one. The only rule that I stick to is that I don’t use “my own money” to buy badges, I have to sell others to make the buying float. So if I see a badge that I want or need there is a frenzy of activity looking for something else to sell. I wish you all a great day and may all your badge requirements be bargains.
