Hello All,
I have in my posession a Replica of the battle Honours Banner, I wonder if any of you know where I can get it repaired. Some of the silver braiding on the dagger is in need of repair as are the retaining bands on the top bar, Ill try and download a piccy if possible.
Regards Ron

Hi Ron
There is a company in Maidenhead who might help :

Hello Steve,
A long story really, but to cut it short, I was in a local shop searching for any thing relating to Commando, the shop owner said he had nothing more to offer, when I looked above his head and there was the banner, we agreed a price and I walked away a very very happy man.
Regards Ron
