Well, it's been quite a while since my last
update. I recently found the archived content of the old RAF Collectors Forum.
It's migrated to Tapatalk and appears to have its data intact -- going back to
inception in 2002! In 2017, the forum was decommissioned due to low usage and
people migrating to other forms of social media. Fast forward to today and
there seems to be some interest in restarting the forum so I'm in the process
of reactivating it. Click

Finding good vendors continues
to be problematic but I think I've found a potential source for some new
badging -- primarily wings.
I've listed some Kriegsmarine badging which was

made-to-original-spec gold wire rank lace in the correct 1.6cm and 0.9cm
widths for officers. Also some wartime spec NCO rank tresse with the correct
waffle pattern and in the correct 1.0cm width. The embroidered Iron Crosses
are patterned on private purchase designs -- which varied wildly in pattern.
