Emblems and cachets.

I pulled these together to compliment one of steve's postings from a couple of weeks ago.

I was at Stampex on Wednesday where there was a dealer with a box of material showing various military cachets used in SA during WW2. I bought about half-a-dozen of the best because I want to use them in my 'Commonwealth Air Training Plan' post. Frankly, the quality was so poor I got tired looking at them. I saw one from Brooklyn AFB, which I imagine is the WW2 name of what is Ysterplaat AFB today. It was so weak I did not buy it. None of the better quality ones I bought can hold a candle to what you show here. Very nice, indeed!

Steve, most are as is but a couple are AI assisted especially when taking writing off the image. If you do it be very careful as AI always wants to change the original to what it thinks! it should be!
