Description

London: Arms and Armour Press, 1997. - 97 p.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 museums, 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 introduction 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 400 badges.
