hi mate
the first issue badge is way out ..its soo frustrating trying to get a decent pic of it. The handle is very different to the 2nd issue one They look more like flick knives than commando knives!

Stephen,
Okay, I'm getting a clearer picture now - can't say I've ever seen the 1st issue.
Thanks for clearing this up for me - sorry for being so obtuse.

Stephen,
Brilliant - now I see the difference :D AND seeing that plaque has reminded me of my dad's one but goodness knows whatever happened to that...
Cheers,
