Hi Robin,

I think this is a nice addition to the medals, very nice. I've done similar with uniforms to different regiments over the years. You have given me encouragement to continue do this.

Thanks for posting the cards and the medals.

Regards

Brian

I've been doing this with Irish regiment cap badges and cigarette silks... I'll have to start a thread.

Don't get me started on silks ..................

Or ciggy cards and stamps.

Robin - good collecting techniques - which add to the value, but also give added colour and interest. I have found that many

medal collectors are now trying to add the correct badges and cloth insignia to each medal.
