What do you mean by "stand out"?

Stand out by rarity? Aesthetic appeal?

Both as I'm not a badge collector as such and these items belong to a group I have and I'm not well acquainted with British,NZ badges and was just curious as to which ones are more desireable .... but have no fear I do not indented to strip the belt.

I don't think there is anything overly rare or expensive there.

Some nice UK Cavalry and Yeomanry badges that I can see.

Hi Jackhr,
Great lot of badges you have shown, thanks. I mainly agree with Mick, however the large RUAHINE badge is valuable, about NZ$450.
I see a Royal Australian Air Force badge, it would date from a later period surely.
Cheers, Tinto

Yep - The RAAF was formed after the war (1921 from memory).
