New member in Victoria, BC Canada looking for other collectors

[Jaydag71]

Good aft I'm happy to have come upon this forum its been difficult to find like minded collectors in my locale. I came into the hobby of badges and ribbons by inheritance, and have come to value the badges though its difficult to make sense of them at times due to the state in which they were received! Hence, Ive got a long task ahead of me in sorting and identifying, grading and evaluating the collection as it stands. Im sure as time goes on I will have many questions and hopefully some answers for others questions as well. My Grandad was very much interested i the history of the badges, medals and ribbons he collected through the years, and as I go through the mountains of paperwork I find myself often interested in the stories and research he has invested into each.

I would be very much interested in finding some collecters locally, but for the time being, hello, my name is John...
