Todays finds from a flea market

A nice haul today, I'm particularly pleased with the ID card.

Is the Derbyshire badge genuine, if so I will probably move it on?

I'm not sure if the Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire buttons are a cufflink or something to do with mess dress?

And the cartridge case is a 1938 .5 Vickers.

Yes, the Sherwood Forester's is original.

Thanks for that but it appears his initial is W which could make him Walter Tennyson D'Eyncourt?

A good haul, I like the .50 Vickers case, main armament on those wretched light tanks, poor bloody Cavalry!:(
