Hi,

"There is also a bronze and a gold grade"

No, it is one grade in different colours and in different material, differently enamelled and varnished.

Thanks for the additional info Uwe. But that's certainly a confusing way for them to have done it... what with nearly everything else they or the TR, etc., ever did being in either bronze, silver and gold or black, silver and gold. Anything to throw a monkey wrench into the works I guess. Oh well... live and learn.

Great stuff Grant! I love the Border Guard set. It is amazing how surpisingly difficult they are to get!

I know Paul , you,d think that the border guard and rear services would be really easy to find compared to say the pilots badges but they are like hens teeth .

[Paul R]

Exactly my point. I wonder why they are so rare?
