Now this was a nice find!! Not quite a full set but what there is , is all on theri original shipping holders. The box is from J.R.Gaunt with a Canadian stamp on it from 1940+ (don't know my stamps) and the shipping label to the guy that ordered the badges. The scans have a little of the shipping paper included and the buttons are all mounted on a cardboard square. I have two of the "Pips" a complete set of the buttons and the collar. Now the hunt is on for the badge and other collar.

Hi
Saw your posting, heres a couple of pictures of the London units badges and cap. The badge on this is AA. They are still going as a quasi military body but I think they wear peaked caps now as the smokey bear hats are hard to come by. This example is actually a scout hat. the tunic I took the badges off was a normal blue patrol jacket.

Hi Steve,

Is your cap badge equiped with lugs or a slider?

Mine has a slider...

Do you also have the cap badge with a beaver instead of a crown... and a round shield?

Like in my picture Frontiersman02a.
