I've just started collecting B.O.A.C. memberbilia, My first step was to go for something smaller than a VC-10, So I chose "Long Service badges" So off to EBay for my first purchase, which was a 5 year (£5.00) badge, (Does anyone notice a problem?) I had better luck with the 10 and 15 year badges , next step was locate another 5 year badge this one was on EBay at Initially £50 (too rich for my blood) after it failed to sell it came back on for £25, as I had paid £2 for the 10 year badge, and £5 for the 15 year badge, I passed on that "deal" I did have my eyes on a 20 year badge, But I forgot about it, as I was watching "Casualty" on TV, So here's what I know so far, Each badge has a different colour 5 years Navy Blue, 10 years Green, 15 years Light Blue, 20 years Red , My 15 badge is hallmarked (Silver) the 15 year is base metal, with a coat of gold plate, and there are two types of fittings (Tie clip & Lapel), So can anyone add to my knowledge about B.O.A.C long service badges?
