Just had the last of my Royal Artillery badges framed, Im really pleased with the result,I got them Professionaly framed in the same style as my personal RA badges shown earlier in this thread.
Apologise for quality of photo..
Im not keen on recomending places,but the company that did these for me offered a professional friendly service with fast results. They can be found here http://www.frame-abel.co.uk/

armystuff. :xd:
 
Hello waff,well these are the only things ive ever had framed and mounted professionally,so dont really know what others companys charge if i remeber correctly the smaller one cost me about 25 and the large one i just had done was 35 ,because it wasnt much of a detour for me on way home from work i called in personally ,chose what frame i wanted colour and style of mounting background then showed how i wanted them lid out,they advised me how it would look better and leaving some un obvious space if i needed to add anymore
 
Ive been looking for a decent framer for some of my german awards and cloth patches i have in the display room.
cheers for the tip.

best

waff
 
heres my latest addition to this collection of mine
