Default Cloth Beret Badge Project Images

Hi Guys,

I have begun to put together a pamphlet type brochure on cloth beret badges and I am looking for pictures for it. These are badges worn by OR's, not the Wire embroidered ones. Typical example is the RLC beret badge worn in the 90s.

I have about 15 at the minute but I know there are lots more out there. If anyone has any photos or scans they can send me drop me a line and I'll send you my email address. I'd prefer high res scans or photos but will take anything at this stage.

Hopefully I'll be able to put together a decent little reference on this often forgotten area of badge collecting.

many thanks in advance,

Bill

Hi Steve,

No sorry, should have said these are not the officer versions but ORs. If one was worn by both then I'll include it.

Thanks again, Bill

Hi Billy,

These usually go for anything between £5 and £10.

Hope this helps,

Bill
