Hi all,

I've just got these tie pins, can anyone tell me anything about them ?

What is the logo? Do the different colours siginfy something?

Thanks,

Michael

SWAG; Light Blue = Air. Dark Blue = Sea. Green = Land.

I couldn't say definitively but I don't recall anything like this being worn by anyone in 14 SR, plus I think they look decidedly 'naff' and very un-British.

Having just seen an ebay seller with them and looking at the rest of the wares I wouldn't hold out much. Happy to be proven otherwise though. ;-)

These have been around for several years, they were a quite uncommon at one point.

I'm not sure mate. 14 Sigs are the EW regt, but I'd guess this from Blandford with it being the school of signals on the scroll, possibly 11 Sigs?
