Most definitely the sign of old age.
I must just really like the look of the badge and just have to have it. Boxes and boxes of badges metal, cloth all intermixed. Today's and tomorrows project will be separating them in to categories. Pre WW1, CEF, Interim years, WW2/Post and Pre CAF and CAF for the Cap Badges and cloth by shoulder, trade, combat, and bullion. By that point my new camera lens should be in and let the photography begin (and creating file names by using the well known ref book numbers).
I will probably be seeking a lot of help once I get to that part.
