Hi, I got this from Sabre today, it appears to have a date stamp of 1967. Gadge thinks it may be Greek.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
If it's greek it'll be greenish in colour, I've got a pair of greek bd trousers and they're have a definate green colour when compared to my other bd's
Yes, it's greener than my trousers. Is there any safe way to bleach some of the colour out?

where's Helga when u need a woman's advice? Oh yeah - she's doing re-enactment this weekend
Hmm.... this might sound foolish... but would there be any mileage in sewing on bits of velcro to the relevant places so I could change the insignia? There is no way on earth that Frau Steiner will want to keep sewing and removing insignia!

Definately Greek-they vary from greenish to brownish-not sure if this has something to do with the dates or just a cloth batch thing.

Walked into that one Andy...
The correct period way to have removable insignia is to use popper... I use the 7mm size on my Far East Stuff.
Although I don't think that it's correct for NWE... 
Alternatively, sew the sets badges on to patches of serge and then sew them on... its a lot easier than sewing them on individually. It's completely authentic for Hallamshires, but not for the others.
Otherwise, I suggest learning to sew. Its not that hard and its a perfectly manly thing to do if you're doing military stuff...

Looks exactly *spitting image* of the Greek blouse I bought off of Spiers. Mine has a 1962 date stamp.
