Mike,

Quite agree that it's a very poor copy and the attempt at a three fails completely. The 3rd Armoured Group actually applied for a sign but was turned down when it was discovered that its HQ comprised just 12 officers and 59 ORs.

They had one made anyway as there is a rather nice woven version which looks like the work of Brough, Nicholson and Hall. Image attached showing a clear 3.

Two of these albums on Antiques Roadshow tonight.

Brilliant content in them.

Roadshow. Fantastic collection of over 1,000 of these printed badges and all in pristine condition. They need to be in a museum.
