Default HUGE Thank You..!

Hi Lads & Lasses,

I'm writing to share my latest badge but also to give a really big 'Thank You' to forum member Dean aka mooke07. Dean very generously offered me this exceptional and rare 1881-1896 Shropshire cap badge after seeing an original cabinet card photograph I posted showing the same in wear.

I have now filled a space in my Shropshire collection that has been long missing thanks to Dean's generosity. It just doesn't get any better...

Cheerio,

Roy

Gosh and I thought it was a cheap copy!!!

Pleased it filled a significant gap and you have been able to complete another part of the regimental badge history complete with photographic evidence of it being worn Roy.

Humbled with your generous thanks, Dean.

Offer to other members - if I have a badge in a non-family regiment album and you would like it, PM me as I might just say yes so as to fund purchasing or swapping for a family badge.
