Default All is not lost.

Getting on for a year ago, I announced to one and all, that I intended to turn my back on badge collecting. However, after a suitable period of reflection, I did change my mind about this, and I have actually continued to obtain the odd badge, here and there. As I have now put a few of these on the wall, I'm wondering if any of you fine fellows might like to see them.

Very nicely done I must say!

I am planning to frame up my small collection of Scottish badges with tartan backing, but am not sure how to get them as nicely lined up as you've done.

Thanks for sharing,

Terry

Wonderful stuff, very nicely spaced out, it must have taken hours to do.

Impressive number of Artillery badges, I believe 102 hat badges, but try as I might, I could not make out which they are, (excepting of course the H.A.C. Frame) any chance you could make up some albums here on the forum? Best regards, David J.

Many thanks for all of your kind comments, chaps, Andrew asks about the Suffolks, all of the outside badges in this frame are O/Rs, all very much the same. Inside these are all of the Suffolk variations that I've been able to find, in 10 vertical rows, each row different to the next, and the individual badges in each row, different to each other, if I could find any that were.

David J asks about the RA frame, I'm not too sure about albums, but I could take several close up pictures showing the individual badges more clearly, if that would be of interest. There are 8 horizontal rows of 11 badges, plus a row of 14 beret badges, each row is different to the one below it, and each individual badge different to the next, if at all possible.

Brilliant, there are quite a few 'single' regiments / units (or group of) collectors.
