Thanks Paul. I was wondering whether to sell the more valuable ones separately. To be honest, it's hard enough having lost my dad - collecting the badges gave him so much pleasure but we didn't realise finding the right way to sell them would be so difficult.

Apologies, again.

Apologies, I should of offered my condolences on your loss first which I do now.
It's not easy to appraise a badge from pictures and mistakes can be made on deciding originality, sometimes it can be down to the feel of the badge which I think it is best to take them to someone who has a broad knowledge of badges, or have them visit you. That person may be someone local to you from the forum or it may be a dealer/auctioneer, I don't envy your situation and I can understand that you would want to get the best return for all the investment of money and time your Dad has put into his collection. I imagine he got a lot of enjoyment out of his hobby and you may decide to hold on to them for a little while, get to know them a bit better learn the history behind them. I wish you the best of luck Paul |

Thanks Paul.
Dad was ex RAF and very proud of the forces. I totally agree with you said so I've spent the last two weeks researching the badges as much as I can. I want to do my best for him. Thanks to everyone for your advice and condolences, all very much appreciated. |

There is no rule about it but it has often been mentioned in the past, ans as I said, just a courtesy. If you're given a reasonable valuation and somebody here is willing to pay the price, why not offer it here first. As for the disposal of the collection, it's hard enough trying to sell them so that could make life easier for the seller as well. Cheers, Alex |
