Will you be creating an album of these badges before they disappear? A lot easier that searching for a forgotten thread.

Thanks Mike. Looks similar other than no name stamp.

Hi Jack, these are virtually identical to a set of 9 boards of samples posted by Geoff Toomer in Formation Sign no. 186 April-June 1997, best wishes Mike

Hello Mike,

This was brought to my attention this morning. Portions of that FS issue were sent to me. It appears to be identical in most all respects save a few. What has me puzzled is the signs shown in the 1997 issue of the FS were from Australia, whereas mine came out of The Connecticut/New York area. More info hopefully to come.

Best
Jack

Thanks
Hi
I’m sure Anderson is just the tailor that supplied the badges for private purchase and not the manufacturer. I have items similarly stamped

Thanks Lee,

It had been communicated to me that the maker of these signs was a firm from Staffordshire. If Anderson's were involved as you noted it would have been as a retailer and not manufacturer.

Thank you for the album.

Just need the correct names underneath now.

Just looking through again. I don’t think I have ever seen a 3rd Division made like this before

I am starting to think that this group may have been at one time part of a manufacturers sales or portfolio book. One each of most all patches,spanning several years and all of similar manufacture. Ranging from common signs to the not so common signs. thanks for all the comments
