I realised the only badge I have is the triangluar Quo XX one I got the first year I joined the fan club, pinned to my gigging hat. That will do me ... the hat is retired now after I realised that we were both too old to go around in silly hats/old bats which are a leftover from the hippy era. I like the badge, though. I never bought another one since, and I seem to have lost most of my patches (or used them to patch something).
Viv open your heart to a new badge and maybe one will come to you! Sometimes it works.

Speaking of Quo badges....this thread has reminded me of my first Quo gig (Liverpool Royal Court 1986) I picked up my denim jacket to put it away....and my heart sank as I realised I had lost about 15 cool badges amidst the chaos! Now now you lot, own up! PS My sister lost her first watch in the scrum to get into Led Zep Ally Pally in about 1971. We'll never know if it was just scraped off her arm or just quietly purloined. I lost mine in the Lake District somewhere. Nice little watches those were, cost about £3 each from a supermarket in Singapore and worked perfectly for years. I've never had one I liked as much.

Not guilty, but I also lost my gold watch that I stupidly wore to the 1978 Reading Festival. It was my Great Aunt's, given to me after she died so I was very upset. I suppose a badge is not so precious after all....

I got the eBay Dog badge! (No comments please kursaal!) It arrived yesterday and looks great! I haven't put it on my coat yet as I have been wearing the red Quo one this week and I just want to wear one subtly rather than lots together. Those days are gone when I covered my denim waistcoat with badges and patches!
