Wow Merdock, I never knew you were a British Airborne anorak like the rest of us Can you please post some scans front and back of your GHQ Liaison (Phantom) patch and your SAS titles. Thanks!

[merdock]

Hi,
Des as you must have noticed due to my limited knowledge on these items they are not mine ,this is a friends collection,
the 2x cloth badges that you want better pictures of ?the sas one's i think i know which ,but i do not have a clue what the other ones are.
If it,s ok i'll continue this thread with some more para/commando/british items
Thanks Merdock

Hi Merdock,

Ah ok a friend's collection! I was thinking "bloody hell he kept this stuff under his hat for quite a while" lol

If possible I would like a good clear shot of the badge that has a white "P" on a black background. It's in the frame at the back.

Yeah please keep posting away!

[merdock]

Will ask Des he's willing to let me post anything but the frames have been together a very long time don't think they have been apart in the last 20 years.
Tomorrow i'll post a nice 42 dated helmet.
All the best Merdock

Thanks Merdock, appreciate it. He doesn't have to take the badge out of the frame. Just a close up shot will be good

Uhhh I say! What nice insignia!

I spy a pair of Anti-Tank Battery shoulder titles in there

Nice stuff Merdock! I guess you aren't just a tease after all. Great to see smocks in such nice condition. Seeing all that makes me want to start collecting para

regards,

Konrad

Hi,
Glad that you like them,
Jack well spotted the framed pics did not photo to well ,they and the others in the frames are from the para guy,s themselves that why there together.if you look close there are some more rather uncommon patches,
I'll post the helmets,knive's and berets later the vast majority from the vets.
Will get some pictures of the items requested so far.
All the best and glad to help Merdock
