This site is created as a reference to collectors (many who have selflessly contributed pictures of their collections) and is not intended for any commercial gain. 

While I am aware that I did not take the originals of most these images and that technically the copyright to them belongs to many unknown individuals, I am acting in good faith in not claiming copyright, in cleaning up and safeguarding the images and not making profit from their use.

 While I generally state the sources of images used and credit contributors accordingly, I have taken the liberty in this case not to do so – mainly due to security concerns as many pictures of badges and patches come from large and valuable collections – if you have a problem with this please let me know.

Where a full name is given, I can only assume that the sender holds copyright. If anyone wishes to take issue with the use of any particular image, I am willing to review your proof of copyright and if it is demonstrated that you hold copyright, I will gladly credit you, or remove the image at your request.

Please be respectful of the copyright which exists on all these images and on the historical texts however. This site is intended as a useful reference, for interest and for personal study purposes.
