At this moment in time Allied Militaria is the best patch website in Australia! They update regularly and they have outstanding products. I cannot recommend them enough. The fact that I have spent in the past 3 weeks more than $100 on patches that I have been hunting for for months (in some cases years) is Testament enough to how good Allied Militaria is! Well done...

Always a bit risky dealing with someone new, especially if they are thousand of miles away but I can’t recommend Garth at Allied highly enough. Bayonet was better than in the photos, carefully wrapped and sent with tracking . No fuss, no worries and I’m super happy . Five stars - cheers James
