Don't know if it's still available, but Ray Westlake's Collecting Metal Shoulder Titles, published by Frederck Warne in 1980 is pretty good. ISBN 0 7232 2675 X.

There was a second edition published in 1996, but as far as I know that's gone out of print as well.

For collar badges:-

British Army Collar Badges 1881 to the present, by Colin Churchill & Ray Westlake, Arms & Armour Press. My copy is 1986 so I doubt if it is still in print.

Discovering Military Badges, by Roger Capewell, published by the author 2001.

Churchill and Westlake still available in paperback, but the quality of reproduction is atrocious.

The links may help, I've used it a number of times to find old out of print books.

Funny thing is most appear on Amazon or Ebay.

Try it, you never know your luck and it is a little better than trawling through hundreds of google pages.
