There was a Royal Engineers Reunion in Ripon at the weekend where 11 Field Squadron (were in the Falklands in 1982) held a service at Ripon War Memorial on Saturday the 2nd, I could have sold so many had I got them in time!

I have some more plus Jubilee pins and 2022 pins en route via Aylsford but I think they will be the same. So if anyone finds a Falklands Pin without 'Lest we forget' on the back I am looking for one. Last edited by Mike_2817; 14-04-22 at 08:08 AM. |

Rugby Balls !
I thought last year's set of Rugby Balls , which were hard enough to get hold of , would be the latest ones around for a few year but there is a new set this year.
There are 5 of them , they are larger than all the previous ones and have a silver coloured back. EDIT : I made a mistake , there are only 4 new pins . The Green one in the middle is to show the size difference. .

CITY OF NOTTINGHAM POPPY APPEAL
As I already have 3 poppy pins I snapped up a 2008 one on eBay , then discovered I already had the 2005 one (in with badges of different Branches). Next day I spotted a 2009 one , so my Nottingham set has basically doubled !. .

FAKE !
On eBay a few days ago a 2006 Poppy pin went for £77.95 + £2.99 postage !
At first glance it looked genuine , right size and plain back , but on very close inspection I am sure it is a fake. I have personally seen and handled four 2006 pins , have also seen and handled at least a dozen other early dated (2007-2010) pins and they are all identical so I'm sure this isn't a genuine one. Plenty of bidders , so price shot up but someone is going to get a surprise /shock when it arrives. This is the first time I have spotted such a “good” fake and worry that more will start appearing on eBay. As they say - "Buyer Beware" ! .

I've got the R.A one (my forum photo) and have my Veteran's pin.
I also ended up with this unusual REME Veteran one , was in with a job lot.

Always interesting! Are the QARANC pins hard to come by? Might have to look for one if they're not over the moon.
