Hi Bryan,
Great to have you on the forum.
As one with an interest in medals also, but alas unable to afford to indulge myself as I would like to, I like that idea of lining up the badges to fit a group of medals. Nice idea - tell us more.

Where are you calling from, and do you have any special line of interest.

Regards,
johnG

Bryan, I always think that a group of medals with all the insignia make a great display, welcome to the forum, members here I am sure will be of help.

Hi thanks for the welcome, I've attached a photo of a group I have, I'm quite well known by the way I display my groups. I have using this method for many years and have seen a number of groups that I have sold years ago still mounted as I had them, it seems some people like that same sort of displays

One particular Shoulder Title I'm looking for to put with a single MSM is the MPSC Military Provost Staff Corps if anyone has one or know where one is up for sale I'd be pleased to hear from you

Regards
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
Good to see you here! I never heard a thing from the person you sold Percy's medals to which was a shame.
All the best, this is a great forum for help & info.

Best regards....Andy

G'day Bryan

Welcome to the forum, I'm going for both the Medal and Sword forums as I have medals to 17th Lancers and 21st Lancers, and also Victorian (Aust) Pre Fed (pre 1901) Boer War (QSA & KSA) medals as well as both British and Victorian (Aust) swords, and also,also a pipe with a 17th Lancers badge (no motto ) on the top which is hallmarked sterling silver for 1834 !!

Just to add to the confusion I also collect Boy Scout badges and have thousands from all over the world and belong to the Scout badge club also. Hows that ??

Cheers

Phil.

G'day JohnG

Yes I have belonged to the International Badge Club (IBC) in the past but now belong to the Aust Badge Club (ABC).

Drop me a PM if you also collect.

Regards

Phil.
