Interesting wrist band badge. I don't think I've ever seen one like it for a lance jack, though I know they were worn by sergeants in british tropical order, so it should be no surprise to see this one. The crossed sabres are interesting too. Are they British?

Nice haul

Hi Dave,
A good little tickle there. Some nice pieces. Plastic scabbard on the No 4 as you would expect for the rainy jungle. Have you got a pic of the top of the beret.
Regards,Ivan
