Default Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone! I am a fairly new collector of Indian Army Cap Badges of the Raj. I have decided to start by collecting the 1922-47 Regimental cap badges to begin with. I occasionally tend to pick up the pre 1922 badges as well since most are scarce. I think this is a fantastic forum and I hope to learn a lot from the rest of the members.

Thanks Phil!

I've been reading previous posts in the Indian Badges section and it was really a treat. I hope I can contribute to the forum. Nevertheless, I know I will learn a lot.

Many thanks Roy!

I have just discovered your website from your signature and am truly impressed by it. I really have no clue about collecting knives but your website has been well made and is quite interesting. Will be going through it in detail.

Hello Roy,

Great work on the website. I really enjoyed reading through it. You have a wonderful collection of the Chindit Patches.

I have just about started collecting Indian Army Cap Badges. I am trying to focus on the 1922-47 badges to begin with and sometimes I buy the pre 1922 badges as well (whenever I can afford to do so). I am always tempted by the collar badges, waist belt clasps, pouch belt badges but can't have them all since prices go through the roof with Indian Army insignia.

Many thanks once again for welcoming me to the forum.
