I, like you, started my collection before WW2 from the old Village WW1 vets....my first badge was a title. RFA pinched from an allotment shed....I added to my collection while serving in the Bays and KDG....When demobbed in 1948 I gave the lot away, in a cigar box to a neighbour's lad.....I kept my own and have added to them over the past few years....no restrikes etc then, my own pictured.
I was a Gun Fitter.
