Another problem is making sense out of the combination of stars and crowns incorporated within these badges. For a Yank, it gets pretty confusing at times just to properly identify some of these.
At least I discovered this forum and you fellows have been a big help in identifing a lot of insignia for me! Thanks!

Just post your badges Lee & I will try to ID them for you, been collecting them for more yrs that I can recall. or PM me with yr email address & you could send pics to me if that is more convenient for you,
