Has anyone here seen a flash like this one? Description says "HLI embroidered with gold wire". Is this an officer's shoulder flash? The french grey is obviously 3rd div. I have never seen anything like this before...




The seller listed the same item except right side up this time. He listed it at a very high price and said that to just bid on the existing item that had been listed with the badge the upside down. There had already been multiple bids at that point, and I guess he couldn't relist it. Perhaps someone here contacted him and told him his mistake.Cameraguy wrote:Check it out...

Hi Bill,Bill wrote:At the Ottawa show, I had a couple of discussions about this badge. One bit of information was that they come in matched pairs, so to have a set you need two. (The staff side of the pennant would face forward.)
It is only the second one of two I have ever seen in 30 years of collecting. Even the rectangular 17 H patches are rare, but the pennant style more so.
