If some of you are interested in sharing photos of items in your collection, I think a section with BUF militaria on the site would be a very nice addition.
Let me know what you think about the idea.

British Union of Fascists militaria
B.U.F. section
A great idea Marcus. We did tend to get bogged down with posts about all the copy B.U.F. items around at the moment, which all said and done is not really what most serious collectors are interested in hearing about. Somewhere we could build up a photo archive of original items would I think be of interest to collectors generally.
I agree with Menachem and Claymore,B.U.F. section on this forum would be great!There are lot of copies and reproduction on the market so it would be fastest and most secure way to check if some item is original or not.

Although I would personally be interested in what you suggest, I wouldn't be happy with for instance, a section on the Axis History Factbook under the Collaboration & Pro-Nazi Parties. The Mosley Movement didn't collaborate with the Nazi's, and thousands of Blackshirts died defending their country, so it wouldn't be fair (or desirable) to lump them with this group.

You can find the new section at http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=6602
If you have any photos you want to add there, send them to me at [email protected] thanks.

Hi Marcus,thanks for the B.U.F. section and thanks for puting an image of B.U.F. Fasces flag with correct colours(the one changed by J. Millican).Marcus Wendel wrote:You can find the new section at http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=6602

Hi RandRand wrote:Hello guys, I was just wondering if someone can post a picutre of a BUF or BU membership party badge? And where exactly would this be located on an individual's suit or party uniform?
Cheers, Rand.
I have already posted photo of membership badge in this topic(Fasces badge).The other(later) type of membership badge is badge with B.U.F. letters(later only B.U.) and Fasces on Union Jack shield.Those two badges were the only official badges made for members of the B.U.F.

I was thinking the other day about how a few men that joined the BFC were also members of the BUF or BU. So I am planning in the future to make a BFC uniform along with a BUF membership pin. I think it would look pretty cool.
Cheers, Rand.
Sorry that I must dissapoint you,but B.U.F. was ultra patriotic party,and the party like that couldn't support another country that invaded Britain.As Menachem already said:
'The Mosley Movement didn't collaborate with the Nazi's, and thousands of Blackshirts died defending their country, so it wouldn't be fair (or desirable) to lump them with this group.'
In other words,that what you're planning to do would be big insult to all those Blackshirts that died for their country!
I suggest that you look Roll of Honour at http://www.oswaldmosley.com for names of some killed B.U.F. members.
