More about our Postal Catalogues
We buy and sell BRITISH and COMMONWEALTH insignia by mail order.
Our 3 main types of postal (snail-mail) list are 'Supplementary Lists', 'Master Badge Catalogues' and Full Button Lists. We sometimes produce 'Classified Lists' and 'Interim Lists'.
We have NO German NAZI items, NO medals,
NO knives, NO g uns and NO bulky equipment.
Whatever we sell must be small enough - and legal enough - to be sent by mail.
Supplementary Lists
These are our standard postal lists, about 8 pages of fresh stock - issued to paid-up subscribers when we have sufficient fresh stock to justify publication
- about 3 or 4 times a year. Each list has about 400 - 450 items of fresh stock. Subscribers normally pay for 4 Lists at a
time (but may pay in advance for any number).

Master Badge Catalogues
These are BIG lists consisting of unsold badges from Supplementary
Lists and are always a few weeks behind the latest Supplementary
List in terms of fresh stock. Up-dated Master Lists are available
from Lulu.com. The 2014 Master Catalogue is available in A4-format with
132-pages.

Button Lists
Button collectors are flourishing and seem to be forming a distinct group that needs its own catalogue. This is currently 24 pages.
No Subscription = No Postal Catalogues
Very occasionally (to keep our cash-flow healthy after buying a big collection of badges) we might issue one or more of the following types of list to paid-up subscribers who have a known interest in the type of insignia that we have just bought.
Classified Lists
A Classified List consists of all stock in a single Classification, e.g. 'C1 - Police Insignia'. A Classified List costs the same as a Supplementary List.
Interim Lists
If we do not have enough pages of stock to justify issuing a Supplementary List we may sometimes send an Interim List to known collectors of the main types of fresh stock catalogued to-date. An Interim List is a scaled-down EARLY version of a Supplementary List and consists only of fresh stock. An Interim List costs the same as a Supplementary List.
