Best places to source badges
Hi Gents,
I had a quick question regarding where most people on here find badges. I personally use the selling section here, along with British Military Badges and British Army Badges. However, i know that there are far more sources to find good original badges and i was wondering if anyone could give me pointers in the right direction regarding auctions, dedicated shops etc? Thanks alot, Adam

G'day Adam
There are plenty of good dealers and some not so good. You could try Dead Spartan, Quartermasters Store, Watling Militaria, Geoff Newman, Minden Militaria and Castle Militaria for a start. Good luck Phil. |

I will second Phil's recommendations.
All solid/reliable dealers. Cheerio, Roy

I would add David Smith’s ‘British Army Badges’, Andy2747 (eBay) and Bosley’s Military Badge Auctions & Buywyze site to that list.
However, I would temper all recommendations with advice to judge each and every badge on its own individual merits. Most of the sites mentioned do at a glance have a few known repros on them. That’s not to suggest any dishonesty, rather dealers are human too and can make mistakes. Even Bosley’s - who are widely regarded as the leading auction house in the hobby - have had several howlers. My recommendation is before buying research the badge on the forum to learn good from bad. And if there isn’t a thread on it just ask, chances are someone on here will know.
