I was once in an Australian Army clothing store sometime in the 80's and saw an invoice from Azam and sons on the counter for a large quantity of bullion badges. I made a note of the address and ordered a few patches for my unit at the time, got the patches and a note telling me how many hand embroided patches they could turn out in a day, can't remember the amount but do remember that it was a lot.

Do you think this glider badge is original WW2 ?

I’m from Cincinnati and not long ago a friend of my parents passed away. He was a WW2 vet. I had the privilege (so did my kids) of growing up listening to his stories. That is a history book lost. His name was Command Sergeant Major Henry Armstrong. He was the oldest living Command Sgt Major in the US at the time of his passing.

Being quite a little guy (I’m a runt), I think that is very cool. If I held it in my hand it would look full size.

My USAF Dad had a Radiac on his dog tag chain exactly as the one in the photo in the original post. The first time I remember seeing it was in Japan in 1957. 

Hello I have added some new stuff to my pbase in a couple of the different albums, mainly the frontier military groups https://pbase.com/45govt/45govt&page=all

I just found out I bought a 20.00 letter opener. Will I ever learn? NO.

Dennis,   What are the crosses surrounded by the wreaths in your most recent post?   I like the nurse cadet enameled crossers.   Bill

I had never seen one before either until I bought a small group that had one on his dog tags. We keep learning.
