roeland if you can post a pic. on the krigsmarine what i find odd is that they never had a badge on there lanyards like the other services. roeland not sure when introduced i expect around 1934 ish when nearly all badges etc then incorporated the swaz. there are twelve grades on the army , 8 for panzer and 8 for luft if my memory serves me right. i am looking out for luft ones at the moment as seem more rare to get thyan the others for some reason

the second photo i changed from colour to black and white which i think came out very good. the drill halls were still used as drill halls when i was in police training in 1991. the base no longer a police training college hence the neglete it now suffers. i did hear that the sight was going to be developed into a housing complex but the mast has a presavation order put on it now so that cannot be touched. just hope they maintain it and dosn't rot away

another. nice to know even though the camp is falling apart the cannons still in place under the mast.

few more pics

thought i would just post a few pics of HMS Ganges training camp as it looks now. luckily i am still able to gain access on the odd occation.

thanks for info. reverse pic. still like this little badge very much.

am i correct in thinking this is the faithful service lapel badge for workers to the army ???

as soon as i can get mine out of the frame i will take some better pics straight on and not at an angle. on the looks mine is indeed a dud . which surprises me as came with a large group of which all the other stuff was 100% correct. one good thing its not the expensive end of collecting. on the white enamel around the swaz it indeed does not go all the way round but there is a hair line mark where the enamel would of run into if it wasnt so thin. one for the hammer when i take it out

natural light.

this is what i have come up with so far. looks better face up than the pic
