Anodised Chaplain (Christian & Jewish) - in Firmin packaging
Gents - purely for interest, a recent find;- a Jewish Chaplains cap badge in AA in a firmin bag dated 14/7/05. Has the correct NSN 8455 99 130 3809 and is a badge for correct issue from MOD stores. It has blades, situated high on the shoulder as we find and is not maker marked.
An earlier find a year or 2 ago was the Christian example in a Firmin bag dated 26/1/11, bearing NSN 8455 99 130 3799. Both are uncommon to find in a bag of issue. Both examples are also found with lugs. Posted for interests sake. Regards all Bess |

Thanks Steve - I know the Jewish example has been discussed on the forum before - generally sceptical- which is all good healthy debate - and I agree that you can write the names on the back of a postage stamp of Rabbi's who have ever been issued one! But nice to find what certainley appears to be a bona-fide example.

Really nice, I've recently started collecting chaplains badges so it's good to see a definite original example to refer to.
