Got 3 Gurkha Paratrooper patches in the last shipment. Haven't put them on the website. They're $12.00 each if anybody's interested. Otherwise, they'll go on the site.

Craig, That sounds very interesting! I did not know the Gurkhas currently had an airborne element. Is this a new unit or are those patches from the Gurkha Parachute Company that did exist after WWII I think?
 
I wll trade para patches and devices. I earned a few and was given othere.

Patches are worth $2 to $5 depending on the market.

Crude does not bring much.

I have some indigenous that I like, but they are worthless.
 
I have other para,(GSG9,frog) type patches,etc. as well. I`ll trade you badges and patches.
GSG9`s are hard to get. They have an armed Huey(UH1) with guns blazing.
The frogs have a sniper target on theirs.

FNG: Didn't see your posts. While I don't collect patches, maybe another forumite will take you up on your gracious offer.

Gentlemen do not engage in the trades per se,(no offense Craig. One must feed his family), but I do have some Marshal`s patches based on the old SOG design that I could be persuaded to part with.

They reflect ground, air, marine, and the psych. studies groups.(Wings,Fouled Anchor,etc.) and are of highest quality; not gook.

I have some good stories that are classified `til 2053 now, last I heard.

I guess I won`t be telling them.
 
Oh well. I'll have to wait till the next lifetime! And there is only one patch left, though I think I'd like to make some sort of modern khukuri patch that would be good for sewing on jackets. Nothing proprietary with the GH name - something that all khukuri addicts can enjoy.

Craig, that sounds like a great idea. Can you post drawings? Because I am sure that we could make a contest out of it. A kukri patch, I'll be in that line two or three times!
 
I collect Cop badges and patches and special Mil. Units.

Craig; do you remember, from your reading, the Frog Riverine Patrol. I think it was D`assult Mobile Commando. I have one of their berets with device.

Too bad that they didn`t put the La Legion, who were largly SS,( Talk about needing a home), Paras on it sooner.

Did you really get $US 12.00?

Fat city!
