I think it would have to be 21st Lancers Officers set of the first QVC badge.

Default ROC No.15 Group (Lincoln) Integral Group Number & Shoulder Badges

Think mine is probably a complete ROC 1950's Uniform with one of these on each sleeve... Given that the integral badges were worn for a little over a year (1952-53), and when the ROC was re-organised many observers simply cut the old group numbers off the integral badge, retaining the "Royal Observer Corps" shoulder badge, and adding the new (separate) group numbers to them - finding them is getting harder year by year.

Hi All
One of my best items, the rarest of rare commonwealth air force badges from WWII. This is a Rhodesian Air Force Bomb Aimers wing. As far as I know, there were only 4 types of wing with the Rhodie Lion & Tusk, B, N, E & AG. These were only worn by 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron, RAF. I doubt if there were more than 100 of each made so must be among the rarest of WWII badges out there. Very pleased to have got this one.
Cheers,
Alex

One of my best this year for my India-Burma collection. Not particularly rare but they do not turn up that often. It has been on my ebay saved search list for over a year and is the only one that came up during all that time.

That one is a little too cryptic and went completely over my head. Could you enlighten me please, by p.m. if necessary?

And there was me thinking that it might have been something rude.

I have had to really think about this before replying because I have had a very good year and added more than a few of my much wanted items. But the best I can do is knock the list down to these 3, and in no particular order.


Current PRVC/FANY beret badge


Three different versions of the 207 General Hospital patch


The white version of the TMW DARTS patch

I've added lots of others, but these are my gems!
