Desert Rat Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Hello Tony, You have got me in expectation of what you have bought?.....Look forward very much to seeing them! Well, in the last 2 months I have bought a superb selection of - French Resistance items - Drapeaus (flags) Brassards (arm bands) from all regions of France/ ID cards-FFI/FTP/ posters/ and a extremely rare FFI code book(Message Personals from the BBC) to many different Maquis groups, waiting for Parachutages/containers of arms, explosives, stens and their favourite...English cigarettes, as they had none in their forest and mountain camps. And secret photo radios to hear the BBC messages. Best to you my Friend......Ian Edited October 3, 2019 by Desert Rat correction to text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Thanks Tony, I thought it was Irish (obviously) so you need an original WW1 badge for it? I am still searching the website for your wanted WW1 Navy helmet badge, all I can say they must be very rare, as I have seen nothing but have asked my friend Regis in Toulon to try and find you one. I will see what I can find for you and let you know.....a tricky one to find? Very Best Wishes My Ol Mate....IanB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
