Default The difference in a photo...

Hi All

Just received a badge this morning..... thought that I had purchased a bronze..... but it turned out to be a silver plate. Most pleased as the 1926-39 Officers LYPAO Cap/Collar is not easy to get hold of in S/P or Silver.

Its like waiting for a bus this year

Just purchased Officers gilt SD Cap badge. 1939-57 (153rd FR RA & LYPAO proper). I will be dropping it in some white vinegar to bring the sparkle back.


>>>> I WILL SWAP FOR A COLLAR BADGE OF THE SAME <<<<<

* The collar has short -D Loops E/W
