More patches and swag

During the filming of The Empire Strikes Back in Norway in 1979, the cast & crew were given winterclothing by the norwegian brand Ski-Peer, and on the jackets were embroidered patches.

I became very enamoured with these jackets and searched high and low, but they are nowhere to be found, except the actual jackets worn by cast & crew being auctioned off sporadically, for a large amount of money.
(There is actually a company making replicas, but they don't look close enough to the originals that I'd even consider it.)

Well, I did the next best thing and found the patches online, and they look great! I might eventually sew them on a jacket myself, but that'll have to wait.

And on new years eve I recieved a nice envelope in the mail from FISD founder Paul Hoeffer, containing another FISD-patch and two Centurion rocker tabs, so now I have two of each plus an Expert Infantry rocker tab:

This is what the small patch collection looks like now:

I also recieved a helmet bag to carry my prized Troopermaster-helmet in when travelling to events.
A Centurion tab and FISD patch will have to go on the helmet bag as well. Swag-o-rama.

And a bonus at the end, a picture of the troopers and main man, Mads at his booksigning at Outland in december:

A little swag

Recieved a few patches the other day:

One patch + tab from FISD
The tab was supposed to be a Centurion one, but it got mixed up, and the correct one is on its way in the mail.

And I recieved a standard 501st Legion patch from TK-4149 Scott Magerfleisch, completely free, he also included a nice christmas card with greetings wishing me welcome to the Legion.

And the most recent acquisition was a Legion name badge, with magnet fastening on the back, really nice!
I suppose this will come in handy when attending larger events and "aftertroops".
