Hi Guy's,

Just ben looking through some bags and found a perfect set of WW2 RM economy badges, (beret & collars).

No use to me as they are spares so i'll put them up for sale. Any idea what is a fair price.

Regards
Irv

The cap badges are about £60 at auction depending on condition.

The collars are a few pounds. About 8 years ago boxes of them appeared on the market still in the original wrapping. At the time they were selling for a pound a piece at various fairs.

There used to be cards of about a hundred or so on them about 20 years ago and they've been in a couple of dealers 1&2 £ boxes for a long time.

Thanks for your comments.

I assume you refer to the collar badges, I think I'd be absolutely delighted to pay one or two pounds for any plastic cap badge, in particular, a Royal Marines example?

I remember in 1969 I saw an SS Dagger with hanger in a second hand shop window in Albert road, Southsea Portsmouth. It was marked up at £30!!

Oh how we all wish we could go back to the times all this militaria was cheap

Unfortunately that is no longer the case.
