Arrow Hello all,

My name is Brian Bennett from Australia. I have been collecting police badges and shoulder patches since 1984 and am member No. 1764 of PICA(GB) and Life Member No. 29 of PICAA (the Australian version of PICA(GB). I am currently concentrating on British Colonial Police insignia. I am a purist and only collect genuine items as issued during the British Administration. I do hope I can do business with many of you. Thank you. Brian.

Welcome Brian

I've collected police badges on-and-off for the past 35 years, like yourself I'm a member of PICA GB - as are one or two other Forum members. There are people here with vastly differing interests, experience and knowledge - it is a rare day when I, for one, don't learn something new, and I hope you enjoy membership as much as I do.

Regards

Graham
