    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for the comments.

    I have been collecting for many years and have gradually built up a group of friends and sources and we assist each other.

    I have also found it very important to specialize but this is not always easy.

    A knowledge base also helps to ensure that you know exactly what you are looking at and what you require to complete a specific series or collection (where possible).

    The scarceriItems are not readily available and it has taken a while to build my collection.

    Sometimes it is also a question of being in the right place at the right time = luck!!

    Regards,

    Will

    Hi - Will. You've added some lovely new pieces to this set - adds a lot to our knowledge on their badges

    and uniforms. I hope you are well - I see that you list Juba - have you left Somalia ? Best wishes Mervyn

    ps. The SADF handcuffs are the standard british Police 'D' shape. In use until about 1972.

    Will - I meant to remind you that our Photo Comp. is running to the end of October. There must be a number of old British and South African graves and memorials in the areas you are visiting ? Also, some of your collection would go well in the different

    categories. Have a look - Comp. Forum - above the Lounge. Mervyn
