Gurkha Military Insignia Catalogue

This is an extract of the Ian Kelly Master Militaria Catalogue dealing with Gurkha insignia.  The alternative spelling of Goorkha was often used by the 2nd Goorkha Rifles. The spelling 'Ghurka' that appears in Microsoft spellcheckers is wrong.

Prices are in British Pounds Sterling and you may order online or order by mail.

With effect from 1 June 2007, there will be a minimum charge of £1.50 postage and packing for all orders. If Royal Mail costs exceed this amount, then the charge will be cost-price, i.e. the price of the stamps. click here for postage costs.
