Post your WW2 Australian Insignia.

[AT P Sweep]

Yes ~ Sadly I just placed a bid of $41 on a batch of badges and buttons including two Aust artillery badges with turning wheel ~

The retarded %^$&*&* web/ Telstra connection faltered and I missed by ONE SECOND ~ The whole lot went for $20 ~ AAhhhh!!!!

[AT P Sweep]

My latest purchase on line.. nice pick up ~ Nice price too~

Sweet Heart Rising Sun, WWI mounted on Mother of Pearl~ (Ms M loves it ! )

I see on Ebay there is a Rising Sun with a Camel on it ~

WW1 THE Australian Commonwealth Military Forces Badge | eBay

The WW1 Camel Corps insignia are quite rare and fakes abound as Oz stated. I would think there would be more repo's in circulation than originals at present as those who have one tend hang on to them.
Some nice items of insignia you have picked up there, Well done.

That one in particular is a copy.

That seller is a well known seller of fake badges.

I for one was not convinced about its authenticity and had no intention of buying or bidding ~ for that scepticism ~


I see there is a regular Australian vendor who lists a lot of Rising Suns ~ I am assuming that his are all repops too ? Or is that the same bloke ?

Hi Fella's,
Set of opposing 11th "City of Perth Regiment" collars. Not a matching pair sadly.



A single 10th Battalion "The Adelaide Rifles" collar



And lastly a 7th Battalion "The Northwest Murray Borderers" Oxy hat badge,



Happy to have added the 7th hat badge to my lot. Not super rare but a pricey one if you purchase at retail. I had a nice little win on this one.

Hope you enjoy

All the best

Dave
