Default Hampshire Field Service Cap Badges

A recent find: Victorian era FSC badge for the Hampshire Regt.

Shown alongside the w/m Vols one.

The brass one was sold as a collar in the USA and the Postage was eye watering using ebay GSP.

It is worth noting that they are from different dies. The regular brass one has 2 voids in its tail.

Very nice! I missed this one. Regarding the postage costs, they have put me out of the picture nowadays. I can no longer afford to buy from the UK and I can neither sell there as the postage costs are too high.

Postage is OK to send from here providing you don't go anywhere near Ebay's GSP! I sent some badges to Europe this week and it cost less than £4. I it was under GSP then it would be more like 24.
