Hi
I've read this with interest and thought I'd try and help.
Please bear in mind I do not collect kit items, am not a re-enactor, and have only purchased insignia from this vendor.
Having said that, I've had prompt and curtious servious from him. He replies to emails and has, on the required occasion, provided pics.
I am, in no other way, connected to the vendor.
