Some more excellent knives LH 600, my copy of "Wilkinsons and the FS Knife" should be at my office on Monday, looking forward to reading it very much. Not too sure about your badge though, these have been widely copied. I did post some while back an image of an original, need to find the thread, and it was hand- made from a piece of cutlery! Regards, Clive.

The book has a lot of great information in it. I recommend it to anyone collecting FS knives.
