Hi Dan,

An absolute 'sweetheart' this one, thanks for sharing.

I don't have any examples but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate these, so looking forward to seeing your other examples as well as any others shared by collectors.

Keep up the good work, a cracking badge.

Cheers, Roy.

Hi Dan,

Yet another beauty. It really is difficult to beat these sweethearts for 'flash'.

Well done and I for one are pleased you are sharing your collection.

Cheers, Roy.

Hi Dan,

I've always liked the 16th badge and once again you've pulled out a cracker!

The colors on the crown are stunning, a beautiful little badge and a pleasure to see.

Cheers, Roy.

Thanks Dan for sharing your sweethearts with us, here are a few that I have, including a Calgary Highlanders Ring. Also a picture of my entire collection of sweethearts, the top tray are just odds and sods mainly Australian, the other three trays are all Scottish, some gold and some silver.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for sharing your collection, some wonderful badges there. I guess I'm a little out of the loop as I don't have any! Well I guess a chap can't collect everything. But never say never!

Lovely to see these gents, real 'bling' on a pin.

Cheers, Roy.

Hi Phil,

Some truly stunning badges you have there. You really can't fault these sweethearts for beauty. I especially like the top two with the voided centers. I don't have any sweetheart badges Phil but I'm sure grateful to you for sharing this part of your collection.

Roy.

Hi Dan,
Have you seen this thread (http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...splay.php?f=99) As part of the project I am looking to include sweetheart pins. Would you be interested in sharing? I would need hi-res photos or scans.

Clive
