Default SAAF Badge Collection

Hi,

Recently I had an idea to post some pictures of my collection up. One of the things I have enjoyed about this forum is the sharing of information.

I would like to post a picture a week up for comments, information or perspective. Any information on the badges is welcome. I will just post the pictures and a title, and the we can all share the information provided.

There will be a 2 badges posted in the future which are copies, but feel to comment on the badges as though they were originals. Its not only about the badge, but also about the history.

The first collection I am posting is my Pre-Korea collection.

I look forward to your responses,

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy, thank you for sharing. I am glad you have. The SAAC cloth title is VERY nice, it must be extremely rare. Regards Andrew

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the encouraging post. I know you mentioned you had some info on the gilt pouch badge. Could you please share what you have on it? Any information would be great.
Regards
