Badge Collection
Hi all,
I'm a new member to this group, so hi firstly. My name is Jordine, I'm 18 and live in Lincolnshire. My mother passed away at the end of 2013 and I am still in the process of emptying the house, which was previously my grandpa's (he was in the army). Upon clearing the house I came across a cabinet with a range of badges, and I have no idea of their worth so was hoping you could help me! The list of badges is as follows; [LIST] Sultan of Oman's land forces (two designs, one has a round reef type thing, the other appears to be swords crossed) Muscat regiment Northern frontier regiment Desert regiment Jebel regiment Oman Coast Regiment Sultan of Oman's parachute regiment Frontier force Southern oman regiment Western frontier regiment Coastal security force Western border security force Mussandam security force Firqa forces Sultan of oman's artillery Sultan of oman's armoured regiment Sultan's armed forces engineers Signal regiment Sultan's armed forces training regiment Force transport regiment Force medical services Force ordnance services Electrical and mechanical engineers If anybody could let me know about their worth, or where to sell them it'd be greatly appreciated They usually stand in a wooden showcase type thing that is hooked to the wall Thanks again, Jordine badges.jpg |

It's a shame to sell them. It was an important part of your Grandfather past. If I could suggest, maybe try and find out why he kept those badges. Maybe, once you learn a little more about them and why they have been kept so long you might just find a reason to hold on to them. Heck, maybe you will start a new hobby and be able to pass them on.

Hiya
Thanks for your reply Unfortunately, there's no one left for me to speak to and enquire as to why he kept them for so long - my mum was his only child and she died the end of last year, and as far as I'm aware there's no other family. Jordine x |

Hi Jordine, They are highly collectable. I've PM'd a member who collects to this field and hopefully he will be able to help. Regards Mike
