A superb (difficult to find) mid war period - on felt - un-issued British Glider trained Infantry qualification badge

This is a perfect example of a very attractive so called 'Gliderpatch'. These badges (BoBD 2125) were made by a London based Company called Hand & Co. in May 1942 who had designed an oval cloth badge depicting a light blue Horsa glider on a khaki backing for the newly formed Airlanding Brigade. The Company had the badge in full production by June 1942. The badge was to be worn in a postition upon the battledress approximately six inches (15.24cm) above the base of the right hand cuff. A scare badge to find these days. The badge is in a perfect and un-issued condition. Hard to upgrade.
