Angola 76
This ebay dealer has some South Africa badges. They claim to have been inspired by their uncle hogspear who has revealed his suppliers enabling them as they put it to get suitcases full of stuff.
Am not sure of the quality of badges on display. Some of them look to be modern copies.. would like to hear forum members opinions....was not aware that in this age one could find suitcase loads of genuine stuff anywhere... |

Are you sure you have his user name right? When I search for it I come up blank. Can you share a link perhaps?
Thanks. |

Looking at what has been listed, most would fit into a ladies purse rather than a suitcase.... and I see the owners of Angola76 are two sisters, so maybe the purse thing is more apt.
Did some investigations and it appears the sister hail from Natal and are simply buying militaria off a local web based auction site and then reselling via ebay Last edited by Milmed; 25-02-21 at 08:42 AM. |

I have had some Great War SA badges and other items off them all were genuine. I am not sure if the 'sister's really exist or its just another marketing strategy from Hogspear from whom I very occasionally buy as normally his items achieve well above market rate prices.
