Very nice indeed ! But I always thought these die-struck versions were Senior NCOs. Is this not correct ? Regards Jeff |

Ron you have some stunning badges, thank you for sharing them with us. Didn't you use to have an album with images of drawers full of BW badges?

Those images were mouthwatering to start with but your individual images with descriptions here surpass them in every way.
