Default Pity about the damage.

I hit the crossbar this morning when I picked up these two, pity about the damage but couldn't resist.

Tony,

I am guilty of buying items in similar condition, if you come across the missing parts at some time in the future you would be kicking yourself for not having picked up items like these.

Peter, very true also better to have a genuine broken item than a copy in my opinion.
The guy I bought these off was convinced there was nothing wrong with the 11th Border badge, experts.
Cheers Tony.

Tony,
I would of bought the Eleventh Bn badge, I would like to think it was damaged by the wearer rather than some over enthusiastic badge bender! I'm sure the Berkshire can be fixed easily enough

Lol, I think you know how close Greenbank is to me! I would of gone myself if Leeds had not been on. There is a chap who sometimes sits there but is a bit hit and miss with any badges, he also does All Hallows (both run by the same organisers) in Allerton just down from Quarry Bank now Calderstones School.
