Todays finds from a flea market
A nice haul today, I'm particularly pleased with the ID card.
Is the Derbyshire badge genuine, if so I will probably move it on? I'm not sure if the Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire buttons are a cufflink or something to do with mess dress? And the cartridge case is a 1938 .5 Vickers. Rob |

A good haul, I like the .50 Vickers case, main armament on those wretched light tanks, poor bloody Cavalry!
