Default 6th June Reproductions..

Does anyone know if 6th June reproductions are all on the web site, or if there are titles that have been made but are no longer listed? In particular, does anyone know if they made West Nova Scotia Regt titles?
Second, if anyone has a 6th June reproduciton, any type, could they post an image of the reverse of the title?

I personally don't have any, but I’m pretty sure that not all the titles that they have ever produced are listed on their web site. It would be nice to see if they would be willing to provide a complete list of all the titles they have reproduced over the years. Bill, are you wondering about that West Nova Scotia Regt title you picked up recently? Can you post a picture?

Thanks Mike.
Do all 6th June repros have the backing glued on?
I was hoping to see the embroidery style, does anyone have one without the backing material?

Hello Peter, An old post that Mike dragged back up.
To rephrase the question, did 6th June ever make a West Nova Scotia Regiment title, and the answer appears to be no. No one commented on the question if Andrew Butler has discontinued certain reproductions. If so, they are still out there, and need to be flagged. But it appears that the only ones he offers are all still on the site.

Bill, can't comment specifically on WNSR titles, but Butler still sells those crappy Armd Carrier Regt titles on eBay, has for years now, but they have never shown up on his website...

Mike, his VIII Recce badge is a shame, but mercifully, should not fool anyone that has bothered to do a bit of research before buying the badge.

I couldn't help but look at some of the "original items " on the web site in the link.

I can only wonder if there are any people out there who are naive enough to pay the sort of prices being asked for some of the items.

P.B.

(Apologhies for the interruption to the thread )

I had to take a look to see what the ruckus was about. Those Kangaroo badges are truly awful. Some badges seem okay, but other stuff on that site don't match any kind of badges that were actually worn - for example, his Grossdeutschland cuff titles are a mix of BEVO and embroidery that is just...bizarre. As in, absolute garbage, that he is asking 10 Euros for. Definitely buyer beware territory. Some of the Canadian shoulder titles might be okay for reenactment - and it is probably a good thing they are not identical to wartime patterns - but there reaches a point you are *so far out* that you have to wonder what the point is.

A bit odd that the Nazi Party pins and armbands are of such high quality...
