Default Army Scripture Readers
Gents attached my limited ASR set. Does anyone have any other pieces to look out for?

The cap badge (on east/west lugs) is also used on the belt plate. I know there are anodised collars - which I believe, have broach pin backs.

The maroon beret came from 16 Air Assault Bde at Merville Bks, Colchester and must be fairly unique.

Do we older chaps remember a certain high end badge dealer selling these as Air Sea Rescue

' Argh tell thee wat `t Is kid they made erm in metal as the cloth ASR badges were rotting due to the salt in the sea air ' and that is a true story

Default ASR items.
This is my collection of ASR items
1st Gilding metal & white metal
2nd Anodised-no maker
3rd anodised- Firmin
4th lapel badge
5th Various cloth items
I think that the badge on the beret is a cut down version of the 1st epaulette in picture 5 but unsure.

Jerry.
