Good WW2 cap badge as previously stated, mainly worn in the Parachute Regiment red beret.

P.S. Why is it posted in the A/A category?

Jack.

Hi Derren
John Gaylor's Military Badge Collecting book is a good place to start. And then advance to the more expensive Kipling and King volume's one and two.

No need to apologise Darren, as member of this forum you are in the best place to acquire the necessary knowledge which is the key to collecting anything.

Look through the old posts and study the photographs in the albums and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Good luck!

Jack
