Overseas Swap Reverse Reverse.
The swap partner who sent to me and I got together and direct swapped as well to each other. Rich rang today to say he received his from me.
Rich is an American Airforce Serviceman so with help from my mate Don the enamelled badge of the Air Force, Penny for the couples birth years side by side.
My mustering in the Army was Infantry in the 50,s so my Hat Badge the Rising Sun, shoulder badge the open Australia for my shoulder badge.
The pen Huon Pine Burl the rest Burl upside and underneath Brown Mallee Burl.
Rich said I exceeded all his expectations so I am happy as well.
Kind regards Peter.

Wow Peter, that is a huge effort
Surprised you would give away your hat and shoulder badges though, makes it an even more valuable gift, giving away a little piece of yourself
