Hi Chuck,

I'm useing a Sony CD Mavica CD-500

5 mpeg

Handheld, tripod always gets in the way..

i'd like to get a digital SLR with micro but,,TOO $$$$.

This one runs about $500.00 or so. Maybe less now 1yrs old and outdated I'm sure..

I like it because it burns directly to a small CD no memory cards etc..

George

Yes Rick,

Each one is a separate piece.. There is some damage on the first badge. a few missing. Ill get some pics of the reverse when I get home..

George

for comparison heres the other, Forestry badge.

George

This piece is all Gilt silver.

Dont know what this is really for.

I thought general staff were all silver..And forestry badge had gold wreath with silver eagle.

Anyone.

George

Very, very nice aviation insignia. I have never seen the provisional example, even in books. Now I know of yet another hole in my collection. It's interesting that they removed the crown but retained the initial.

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

I think it originally had the crowns and they were neatly cut off.

Waste not want not..

George

Here are a couple I have one with crowns and one without..Provisional issue.
