Awesome. I feel is if I have an extremely small penis indeed (which, incidently, I don't). The thing is, what's needed here, is a permanent gallery of these things, because I get all confused and stuff. Please can we have a State-by-State gallery - for reference purposes?

Personally, I would love to see a full-colour glossy-paged book with all this stuff in. It'd be the ideal bedtime dream-inducer. Not some b&w thirties re-print from Nummergut, but a really spiffy quality book. I'd willingly pay a good price for such an item.

I seem to remember Blandford publishing a glossy Imperial book back in the '70s, but I've been unable to find one. These things are just so pleasing to the eye. They have to be in colour! It's enough to make one come out of the Brit-gong closet. I must resist..... reseeeeeest!

Too late for me.

Save yourself, Tony. I'll hold 'em off from here.

The Imperial Flight Badges are just too fantastic for words. A "must have". Cased, of course.

let's not forget ek's

1813, 1870, 1914 (plus the lowly 1939 and 1957 just to give equal time....)

the beauty of collecting Imperial

is that you are not limited by your pocketbook. You can go for the big ticket items, or you can look for arcane items which are in fact far rarer than what is dictated by the people that set the prices by paying too much for them. Many more choices! More history! Variety is the spice of life! har.
