London 2012 Patch

[54Bty]

The one on Ebay also looks BLUE.

Is it possible that Volunteers get blue and the Military get Purple.

Or is the Purple one a camera thing.

Hi Mike,
That's great news, I thought i'd been the only one so far, ......... "RLC Rules"

Now all i need is, (Oval RLC Catering TRF, and Red RLC cloth beret badge)

Need the Oval Catering Badge (not a TRF as such) myself, but have Oblong example and the Red (Kings Regt) Cloth Beret Badge so will keep my eyes open for you.

I have asked the question re colour of Olympic badges with contact.

D'you know what Mike,

I cannot believe that our Corps has made a badge, Soooooooooooo hard to collect, that not even us guy's who only just !! have contacts left in the Corps, can't even get hold of one, ......... now that sucks !!

Maybe I left a little too early at the formation of the Corps (Aug 1994)
(Damn you RLC people, not even us oldies saw that one coming)

From a rather disheartened "Ex" RLC individual S/Sgt, and as they've always said to us in the RCT on NITAT Trg, "Always be prepared for the unexpected".

I'm thinking of collecting Wheel Cap covers, as I can find them in gutters alot, as they seem to fall off cars for nothing (I noticed this from waking up often in gutters, what with being a driver type bloke) hic

Good hunting Mike

HI ive not had chance to study the bidding history and this may be a genuine bid by a ` must have this one ` collector but I really wouldnt be surprised if this high price was rigged by a dealer and his pal to drive the price up , then hay presto they start selling the ones they are having made .......... just a thought

I think you've hit the nail on the head NEMO !!!

Both the dealers, on both sales are from Plymouth !! now that's strange to say the least, maybe, just maybe, he is has TWO ebay names and is bidding on the two items to increase the bids, ........
(What a knacker)

They are strangely both now priced at £34.00

I also collect RLC 'Felix the Cat' EOD Pin Badges, and the first few on FleaBay get high prices (I always set myself a limit) then taper off on later listings. I really think there are collectors out there with deep pockets, and things like the London 2012 Patch well plumit in price after the games end.

Now I have only ever seen one oval Catering patch Ken, and not on eBay!
Have you got 7 Regt Eagle or 710 Laundry Sqn Cat yet?

[54Bty]

Here are mine, I do not have the black and white Eagle.

[Mike_2817]

Is the one at the end a patch? or a silver stick pin?

This should really be its on thread LoL but since its Ken's I don't think he's complaning ;-)

Very impressive Mike,

I never worked in the Felix Teams when on Ops in NI, but if I had, I know i'd have collected the lot, or should i say, as many as possible.

7 Regt Eagle, I have the Black on Beige shield and I'm aware of the Red issued badge, through your RLC site
710 Laundry badge, I've not got either, but I'm aware of it, as above also.

Ken
