Default Hello from the uk

Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself.
I am a new member and new to this hobby.
I stumbled upon this forum and find the members both friendly and knowledgeable.
I am looking to build up a collection of cap badges of all uk infantry battalions from ww1 up to the present day,
But i know myself, and i may fall down the rabbit hole and end up with badges from most or all branches of the british army.
I look forwards to making friends and aquantances on these forums in persuit of this fascinating hobby.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

I joined about 4 years ago and quickly amassed a lot of badges ! I can't advise sticking to a theme as I took no notice of my own advice. Best advice I can offer is to buy from reputable dealers and from other members here, otherwise you will end up posting items in the reproduction section here. Forum members can point you in the direction of the best dealers.

Be safe, Mark

As we are allowed to promote our sales then check out my badges on ebay under my user name of staleyvegas.

Some rare badges, all original and reasonable prices.
