    Hi Mervyn,

    Thanks for the welcome, I'm a current serving member of the Queensland Police. I am a Senior Constable and an Officer in Charge of a little 2 man station. I was lucky enough to deploy with the UN Police to Timor Leste in 2007, I posted my medal group in the "post your own" topic in the lounge a while back . Out of interest, my avatar is of one of the old station badges used between 1911 and 1959 to identify police stations. They were cast iron and weighed 17 pounds. I am a collector of police medals, with an interests to those awarded to Australian Police officers (although any commonwealth police medals are also fair game!).

    Cheers

    Chris

    Regards

    Rod - I deleted the first post that didn't show. Your others seem to have come out well - so everything must be OK ?

    Your latest helmets and badges are really of a very high quality - and at their age, must be rare. I am sure members will

    enjoy seeing them. Do you still find any of these in shops - or is it that people know you are a top collector ? Mervyn
