This cost me £25 10 years ago at an Arms Fair in Leeds. I am guessing around £50-60 today?

Garron,

Coincidentally I was at the Bristol Medal Fair on Sunday and saw a 38th Div Patch for £75, however all the blue backing cloth had been eaten or cut away, so all that was left was the red dragon. According to the seller some divisional troops cut the backing cloth away and just wore the dragon(?)

hi Mark

I have never heard of that before, wouldnt surprise me, soliders removed the stiffening wire from hats so that could be true.
