Whats the one badge / medal that you have always wanted but never have got?
Is there a badge or medal that you have always wanted and can never get?
Share it here! If another forum member has it (and will never ever part with it) please post a pic so we can all be envious. |

Hi Dan,
Welcome to the forum. Good question and one I'm sure will get lots of replies. The cloth 'patch' that I have yet to find is the Great War 'DR' over 'Wheel'. This rare Motorcycle Despatch Rider patch has eluded me thus far. What's Yours? Cheerio & happy collecting, Roy

Only 2 Chris,if my mind is still all there I recall seeing 2 for sale in the last 10 years.
I have one item that I would love.to have . A 1821 belt to the Rifle Brigade,known as "Fame" or "The Angel". There is supposedly also the same design with an "Eagle" on top and also a Victorian crown. I've never seen any sort of image or evidence to support either of these existing . I have a theory regarding the "Eagle" Last edited by Mike H; 25-11-20 at 09:07 PM. |

My great-grandfather's First World War medals. Sold at auction 30 years ago & presumably still residing in a private collection somewhere.
Who knows, maybe not 'can never get', but very unlikely I feel (on cost grounds if nothing else!).

apart form the Hugh King Monmouths one sold at Bosleys without fixings (so likely to be a sample and never manufactured) is there such a thing?
