Ed,

Particular thanks for posting this link. As a keen collector of such items I was 'blown away' by the Francois Saez collection. Truly remarkable - he is to be congratulated.

This inspires me to increase my efforts to acquire such trinkets. So if any TOCH members have similar pins they are minded to part with - please allow me first refusal via a PM. And can someone kindly explain the 'Kassel' reference - an annual military fair I assume? And if so, when is it exactly? I'm going.

Thanks again Ed. You have quite made my day/week/month.

OK I now have the information. Kassel WBK is bi-annual event. Next is 23-25 March so perfect timing.

Peter,



You're very welcome. One of my interests is in helping to resolve the actual colors of some of the lesser known unit emblems. And since you mentioned it, a poster on the LEMB provided this link:

Many thanks Ed and Chris. I am aware of that particular source and have had good success there in the past. Your interest is much appreciated.
