Hi everyone

Any badge shops worth a visit please?

Sean Lacey in Jacobs market, check opening days, but I think Saturdays.
He is usually cheaper than many outlets, but like all can get things wrong, though a good guy regardless.

There used to be a militaria stall in one of the arcades in the centre. I found a a/a Manchester badge for £5!

Jacobs is a good place for a rummage. 10 years ago there was an old chap with a cap badges stall - such a huge amount of restrikes I did not have the heart to burst his bubble.

Yea, Jacobs was a good place for a rummage.

Never mind.
I can try and sneak off

Cheers

Louis Bannon used to have a shop in one of the arcades but I can't remember which one. I also remember the old chap in Jacobs.

Louis is/was in Royal arcade (cardiff antique centre) but I always think of him as being more for selling medals than badges, though I bought a cp from him years back.

As already said, Jacobs is a great place to look about all the stores as more than a few sell militaria.

there is also another antique centre at the pump house, which has sellers of militaria among general sellers
