The majority of these Council Shoulder Patches were collected between 1972 and 1982, and again between 1998 and 2002.  There has only been a couple of dozen added since then.  All patches are in MINT to near MINT condition except for about a fifteen or so that have become somewhat flimsy due to age but have never been sewn or used so far as I can tell.  The few used/sewn patches that I can identify in the collection are pictured as the end of the listing and are clearly labeled. All patches have been stored in their own archival poly bags and are backed by cardboard to help keep their shape. Unfortunately, I never practiced the generally accepted CSP identification system that has been in place for as long as I can remember. Clearly, I wish I had now, but hopefully you'll be able to get some idea as which patch is what. The pictures shown were personally scanned by me, and I will vouch for them all as being original issues with no known fakes. Additionally, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding a patch or patches.   There are roughly 3,650 patches in this collection which breaks down to about 1,850 unique patches and approximately 1,800 duplicates with the total number available listed below the patch in red. Most, though, stand alone with no duplicate available, and many being from councils that are long past closed, merged or had its name changed.......some, for more than 40 or 50 years.   To view the collection, click for council names beginning with the letters as shown.  There is also aa tab small collection of Red & White strips and a tab for the collection as a whole.   | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | Y | R&Ws | ALL | for additional informaiton you can contact me at scouter131@gmail.com   This website is maintained by Steve Sells Stuff, LLC - All rights reserved!
