E-mail
This is the other one to make up a pair of the "YELLOW" or FIRST Type of Flash for this Infantry Regiment which did excellent work up in S.W.A. and Angola during the "Border" War. In the 1990's they were even trained for amphibious landings. "Quartermaster's Comment:"- See Listing I.D.No. 1406. It comes in at the same price, which considering the condition is not bad.
