Nice library René.

You can never have enough books. The problem
is where to store them all........!

[reneblacky]

Yep!!! they have spilled into the Wifeys room!!!!!
+ In my man room I have a reasonably large lot of WW1&2 original period reference books mostly WW2 magazines, manuals etc....

[Walkwolf]

Noticed a few repeats of yours that are on my shelves.
They are valuable tools..........

Thanks for the info. This is now for my reference.

No worries Rene I spent a lot of time researching these and talking to the manufacturers ect.. trying to put a collectors reference data base together but It just got too much for me as there are so many MEAO patches and variations to keep track of now.
I have some really rare in country made ones but I prefer not to post these online because of the risk of fakers getting hold of the images but If you are interested I can send you pics of my collection via email providing you keep them to yourself

I more than likely have a few spares around here that you can have I will have a look for you.
