    Hello,

    I start with a new project, collecting all the badges, patches etc. of the 1st Airborne Division. Because of the high prices, I think a couple of badges/patches will be good replica's.

    Now I'm looking for good collour photo's of the capbadges, unit titles and other patches of the units who fought at Arnhem.
    Also looking for a good photo of the Staff Sergeant stripes, Glider Pilot Regiment for a special project.

    And where can I buy good replica maroon berets. I see many on ebay but I'm not sure or these are good replica's. And the original ones are to expensive for me on the moment.

    I know there are many Arnhem Nuts on the forum so I hope you can help me.

    regards
    Ramon

    best thing would the Airborne Museum Ramon, I will check but I don't think I have any badges around,also the Roll of honour will have the capbadges of all those who served with the Division

    there is a capbadge in my new booklet which I doubt any of the airborne nutters will have, as it was worn by only one officer, but it was used at Arnhem :)

    Thanks Philip, I didn't think about the museum. I have been there after the opening and never get back because I don't like it anymore. But maybe I have to go again.

    Looking forwards to have the Roll of Honour and ofcourse your new publication.:D
