Very nice ! The KLR badge was an unofficial item for wear on the FSH.

Very nice indeed, I like the King's Own, in particular, a good example and certainly not becoming any easier to find these days, far from cheap either, have you bought these today?

Thanks for all the acknowledgements,
I did pick up both today, the KLR one after a long time courting and realising I will probably not get the opportunity to get such a nice badge if it went elsewhere, PB shared some nice info on this badge some time ago which I will share on his OK. Very happy with the Kings Own glengarry badge which caught my eye this morning, I don't think they do come along that often so applied the same rule.
Cheers
Paul

Paul,

The Kings badge is superb, looks like you had a great day at Stockport, I might have done better going there rather than the fishing competition I went to.

The information I gave you came from a third party but I am sure he would not mind you sharing the information.

Regards

Peter

Thanks Peter,
Some not so good news from there today as apparently Geoff Newman and Rod Flood won't be standing there any more due to travel and costs which I think is a real shame, I would of liked a look through what they had today.

For others attached is info on the KLR badge.
Paul

LOL, I thought that would have been the case, money well spent I feel, although, not fond of anywhere that cannot make half decent coffee!
