Well fortunatly for me Alex, when I was a hippy (I still am in a way) I did not loose the collecting bug,

and as I was one of the few workers in my circle of friends, I managed to pick up a few items from them.

Pity you didn't live near me!

Hi Ian,

I have them in about 25 Riker cases. Before I aquired so many they were mounted on the wall in large picture frames.

My motto was/is "On display, not hidden away"

As you can imagine, new items require constant rearranging of the cases, which in a way is good because even with silica gel and wd 40, zinc pest still attacks some of them, so they do need constant checking.

Regards,

Pete

Beat ya Dan, It took me longer (35years) and cost me more (?25)

From what I have read on WA, the eagles with the straight stiching along the top of the eagle, indicates that it came from an earlier issue tunic.

As apposed to the later zig-zag stiching style.

Regards,

Pete

Thanks Colin, that last one was a trade for an item that I paid too much for, but I was glad to see the back of it.

Especially as a part chop for an SA tinnie I didn't have.

Greiz, different.

Yes Ian, I too am finding it very quiet at the moment.

These few posts have been a backlog of small pickups that I couldn't be bothered to photoshop untill now.

Erfurt, another Regimental tinnie.... perhaps another sub-section needed :-)
