Mark,
How's it going? If you haven't been before, try the Bangor Militaria fair on 9th August. Usually a pretty good selection there.

Hi Mark........I`m assuming I'm talking to the famous fireman of Belfast! If thats not you I`m sorry.

Put an advert on this forum someone on here helped me find a KC Para badge, then I managed to obtain two more through the forum because of my advert I am told that the cap badge can be purchased for under ten pounds at fairs.

Mark,
Am not certain whether you are referring to the battalion drop zone patches (maroon, green, blue squares), or the Airborne Forces patch. If it's the latter you may want to check out my guide on e-Bay regarding forensic details to look for in a given badge. The URL is; http://reviews.ebay.com/Buyer-s-Guid...alth-Militaria

Thanks for the advice! Theres some at the fair that going by past performance the chocolate would pour out of the badge when the sun comes out! If you see any on the tables drop me a line!
cheers

Absolutely right, but there are a couple of very good dealers there. First on right as you go in is usually very good and the one after him. I never usually venture too far past them, and usually come away fairly happy.

Now you fellas have got me going. Makes me wish I'd never left Bangor. There used to be a fella in Smithfield up in Belfast sold badges. Is he still alive and selling?

Yes, He's still there. Amazing how many extremely rare "genuine" badges he has too.
