There used to be a few stalls in a place around the corner (5 mins walk) which had military items. It was called Jacob's Market, an antiques center on a few floors. I'm not sure if still there it was pretty run down the last time I went there which was a few years ago now!

It's still there but not very good. There are a few militaria dealers but most of hte badges are either fake or over priced.

Kevin (41st) kindly took me round the various badge venues when I visited Cardiff a couple of years ago ! I'm sure he could advise.

Destro,
Jacobs Market, which is behind Central Station is not open on a Monday. There are two delaers who have badges that are genuine but not a huge selection as they mainly deal in medals and other military items.
Within an easy five minute walk is Cardiff Antiques Centre (only a small shop despite the name) in Royal Arcade off St. Mary Street. Louis does have the odd badge but not a huge selection.
He does however have some good Welsh badges at the moment which came out of DNW's last sale.
I doubt whether much will be there though on Monday as I know he will be taking a stall at Yate on Sunday.
41st
