Yep It's been out of print since 1991 I believe and it's a highly sort after publication.
A gem

Have a good one

Yep and $300 is far too much for a book... They have been trying to sell that copy for a long time and no takers? ...I wonder why? LOL

Anyway fellas the patches will have to wait until tommorow so I can take some pics in the natural light as the flash is making the pictures I just took come out looking pretty crappy.

So instead for tonight I will post some Australian Army trade badges... Unless there is any objections?

G'day Fellas,

1930-42 60th Infantry Battalion "The Heidelberg Regiment" collar dog.



I do like these little enamelled numbers

And something different
A Jewish Rabbi's collar dog by Luke. Do you still call him Padre ?



I only have this piece in the Jewish format but have a full set of Christian insignia down at the club.

Have a good day tomorrow all.

I have to dump this S---- camera. Apologies for the not so clear images, It's overcast and the lights not so good down here.

Nice one mate I still don't have a set of Jewish Chaplain badges... They are pretty rare and hard to come by now.

[Thanatos]

Cheers Luke. You wouldn't think there would have been to many sets made hey.
