Taiking about things of beauty,I have been interested to see recently that someone is now producing SAS carriage clocks to go with the genuine fridge magnets,cuff links etc etc.

We can be amused by all this rubbish, but someone must be buying it otherwise it would not be worth the effort of making it.

P.B.

Now I know what to do with all my London titles that no-one wants, I've got a couple of damaged badges, how much do you think I would get for a City of London Royal Artillary shoulder title, canon and all ????

Default Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I did see this item on speedbid the other day, it made a change from the Nazi items and the WW1 "Services Rendered" badges that is generally on offer on this site.
