Default G'day lads

G'day lads I've heard about this forum from quite a few of my colleagues over the last few years and finally joined about a week ago. I appreciate you allowing me to become a member and hope to be able to contribute in my specialist field of Special Forces.

Thanks Phil,
I've been collecting since the mid 1980's when I left the job.
Mainly sas, rsr, lrdg, oss.
Are there any special forces albums on this forum Phil?

G'day Phil, Thanks for the info mate.
I've put a couple of pictures into a British Special Forces album as a small contribution to the forum.

G'day Phil,
Thanks Mate! Original SF is getting extremely hard to find now.
In answer to your question, Yes the first LRDG box is a cigar or cigarette box produced by the lads after Fort Capuzzo.
The other solid silver Scorpion is made out of the silver coins the lads were given to bargain their way out of trouble.
Cheers
