It might be a SA collection - which is not really my area - but are there any "brit" badges in the collection?

I think that you will find that there are quite a few keen South African badge collectors, mostly in South Africa as people generally collect "in their own backyard" . In South Africa the collectors are rather wary of Brit badges because they have been so extensively faked. Lets have your list and we'll arm-wrestle for the good pieces.

Stupid question probably, but I'll ask anyway - are there any Rhodesian, Northern, Southern, pre-federation ?

Hi,
Nice Boer Republic badges. Apart from the odd spear tip missing, they look good. I'm very interested to see what else there is. Will you be pricing them or is it subject to a bidding process ?
I am particularly interested in badges from the 1902 - 1913 period.

badgecollector 19-08-08 08:12 PM

hi
i hope to price them but have to wait for the owner to do so. as soon as i know i will let you all know.
i have forwarded the requests so am now waiting
