BADGES OF THE BRITISH ARMY 1820 TO THE PRESENT.pdf

This new edition of Badges of the

British Army is a classic reference to

the popular and diverse world of

badge collecting.

Since it first appeared 28 years ago

it has become the favourite guide for

the collector at every level, as well

as a standard work in manY mus-

eums, auction houses and regimental

archives. In a single, handY-sized

pocket volume, it provides advice and

inspiration to the novice as well as to

the more exPerienced dealer' The

author has added a new Introduction

to collecting for this new edition'

It still presents a valuable intro-

duction to British ArmY badges and

the history of their collection, plus

essential assistance in showing how

to spot fakes, accurately date badges,

and how a collection can be started

and developed for very modest sums'

Of particular interest to all badge

collectors, however, is the complete

updating of the Price Guide for this

new ninth edition, which together

with the photographic plates offers

an immediate identification and

approximate vaiue to more than -lO0

badges.

'Covering everYthing from Shako

plates to Staybrites, this reference

guide should have something of

interest for all collectors.' - Militaria
