Guest garyjd Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 Sirs, I'm looking for pictoral references for this unit. I have found only one picture of a badge, although I'd like to see more. I know a lot of the shoulder titles consisted of names or just letters. It would be nice to have a picture of this, or at the very least just knowing what it is. Thank you.~Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7t2ndswinger Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 Gary, Here's the badge, I beleive it also came with Kings Crown variations which proved unpopular so they reverted back to the one shown. Can't say if this is a genuine badge though. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
