Is it okay to add you to my contacts list?

Phil
ofcourse it is , and ive seen a few restrikes but not too many, they are very good

That dealer has a lot of fire and police badges. Probably is the same chap.

I looked at your thread on that one, a nice badge, I have no proper idea though, I did a bit of a search yesterday and found nothing. It was quite hard to make out the picture on a small phone screen too. I confess that researching badges is not a strong point of mine.

I wonder if its an airport like Belfast or Birmingham, but a trial pattern?

What does the new UKAEA fire badge look like?

I wonder if another possibility is a commonwealth country, maybe Australia?

Oh right, I assumed given that it says Fire Brigade on it, that that was an older one. I have no reference material at all for fire badges, I pinch other peoples pictures and trawel through Ebay for them

Cheers Eddie, that discounts one possibility at least.

The price just scared me!! I will look out for them on ebay etc. Do they include defence related fire services, like the AWE and DFRS?
