    New arrivals

    Here's a couple of my latest arrivals.
    Polish beret and wings, no doubt they are reproductions but I will use them as temporary fillers.
    Cheers, Luc

    Some insignia.
    Weird Signals and unofficial RASC titles, very loose stitching but glue back/starch back types!
    Belgium title thanks to Marc!
    Nothing special as you will see, but I thought I'd share anyway.

      nice bits Luc

      please could we have some close ups of your Polish wings (they look ok from here!)?

      thanks, from Jack.

        Very nice Luc, displayed with the rest of your insignia it will look even more impressive.

          They are good copies indeed. The plain one isn't numbered, the one with combatwreath has the wrong fixing to the rear. And those are only the dead giveaways (according to Gary Jucha, I didn't know either until he told me recently).
          Cheers, Luc

              Well, here's a picture of the rear, these won't fool anyone anymore from now!

                Hi Luc, thanks for adding these pics.

                Clutch pins Hopefully no one will be fooled by them

                In your original post you mentioned that the "Royal Signals" titles were "weird"? I don't follow what you mean? I cannot see anything odd about them?

                Cheers, Ade.

                  Hi Ade,

                  Clutch pins are practical: they don't damage the BD you put them on!
                  Here's a picture of the Royal Signals badge. As you can see it has very loose stitching, quite unlike other titles I have.

                    Here's the unofficial RASC title, looks like one from the same manufacturer.
                    Cheers, Luc

                      Hi Luc, thanks for that, now I understand.


                      Cheers, Ade.

                        Hi Ade,
                        They are made of good thick felt and natural fibres and show the starch back so I think they are ok. They are just very crudely made.
                        About the beret, I was hoping it would fit me so I could visit Arnhem next year dresses as a Polish para. Unfortunately it is too small

                        Cheers, Luc
