They're the ones I want, I had some on the way to me but they never arrived. Are they quite common on the circuit?

I don't have any items for Gib. Prison Service. The Governor there is very good at making promises. He says he'll sort something out but never does. The lapel badges are from my Royal Gib. Police collection. I got them from Gib. Police many years ago. At one time they were very collector friendly but in recent years I'm told that they do not reply to letters of enquiry. A friend of mine (retired bobby) went to see them when he was there on holiday. He never got past the front desk and said their attitude was very "off hand" verging on rude.

I've just dug the letter out which came with the lapel badges. Goodness me, that was 26 years ago, and the guy who sent me them took them off his tunic. Bless him! That is the only pair I've ever had or seen.

Dave.
