Default Help ID a flash

Hi all,

I bought this flash locally thinking it was a British RTR flash but the grey around the edge got me thinking maybe it is a local (SA) flash.

Can anyone help with this?

thx Iain

Hi Iain, it's Australian 7th Div Cav from ww2 desert campaign, Depending on size it's either a previous unit or worn at the time, 1.2 ins or 1.75 ins across, nice patch either way and armoured, Mike

Hi Mike,

thanks for the swift reply; I was a little off the mark on both counts!

regards, Iain
