Default Some comparative studies

Reading your posts inspired me to dig out my AA collection which was mainly bought 1975 to 1990. So I thought I would post a few of my favourite badges along side some similar items.

First up: Parachute Regt.

A nice QC by Grove with WM slider & a what I think is a Gaunt 1980's QC

Hi Harry,

I would say that the KC is a repro as no official evidence of a KC version.

Regards

Chris

I am sure you are right; bought from under the arches at charing cross from the same dealer who was getting them from Gaunt; new ones almost weekly. Also bought KC Rifle Brigade, HLI and others as per my other posts as examples.

Hi Harry,

Yes, there are quite a few about.

Do you know who the seller was? I would be most interested to find out and confirm or otherwise who I believe this to be.

Regards

Chris
