    Hi all, I am new to this site and I was wondering if anyone had or knew of a friend or shop selling memorabilia from AGS. I have a few cap badges and two 1922-1982 Garda Siochana jubilee medals. If anyone knew of anyone selling that would be grand. cheers

    The Garda Jubilee medal commemorated the 50th rather than the 60th anniversary, it was issued in 1972.

    You can see it at the weblink below, it's the one on the right in the first photo and both sides are shown in the third photo which I've linked to here....

    No harm in trying lads that sell militaria as it sometimes winds up in their stock.

    Something on adverts for RIC items. Not sure about the prices as it is not my area of collecting:

    I forgot to say I am also interested in Garda books and if anyone has any book they would be willing to part with I will give you a fair price.
