Number 6 is an Economy Womens Land Army badge, so not Rare but also not Common so long as blades are in place!

Wow! That feels better. 9 is ground dug as this guy was a metal detectorist. That has got to be real surly?

Thank you everyone and especially Simon for your help. Without your knowledge I wouldn’t have a clue.

As mentioned ‘Death Pennies’ have been copied but to make them realistic is hugely expensive. If you get the chance weigh and measure and compare against a good example.

Hi Matti,
I don’t have one to compare but these, so I have found out, are family items.

Another 12. If you need close ups let me know. As I said my friend is looking to sell these badges if they are good.
