This is the 2nd edition, it's sooo good, the colour photographs are beautiful, really glad I finally took the plunge. Although I now have NF envy, I just want everything in it. Desperately want a sabertache ornament

Isn't it nice when you can find something that combines two subjects?? Picture of a female Guardsman (Guardsperson?) from the Canadian Grenadier Guards. For those who might think this a bit strange, all I can do is quote our Prime Minister..."It's 2016!!"

Stay safe and have fun!

Glad to see this thread degenerate into rubble, but you do have a super load of grenades, Alli. It must be quite the hat that one on the top left goes on

Well lets face it, its a comedy sized badge, you have to see it to believe it. Took me ages to track one down. Denis reckons there are only about 20 around.
