Badge collection for identification and evaluation
Hi
Following a post I did a few weeks ago looking to sell my late fathers collection taking the step back to gather intel and identify what's what. I created a page of the badges and would appreciate help identifying and evaluating what I have, hopefully below but one can message me via here or can find email on the page. Thanks

Are you looking to sell the badges here on this Forum, to members ? Or are you looking to find out how much they're worth, and sell them somewhere else ? Not being funny, but we have had people come on here to find things out. Only to sell the items elsewhere. Good luck.
Andy

Um, well sure, the aim is to sell them for as much as I can reasonably get, with the least hassle. This is the first forum I have posted on and when I did I was told to be careful and understand what I had before accepting offers.
Do I want to search out, sign up and post on ever badge site on the web? NO. Will I start looking elsewhere if info or offers are not forthcoming, YES. I am looking for help. The badges are in "collections" or grouped together so there should be some logic to it. There are bags of other badges but thought this is where to start.

That is quite a collection.
Identifying each badge is a task. A lot to them can be identified from the name on the badge alone, or some simple google searches. If you want to sell them, please contact me. I would be interested as I am sure would many others on this forum. Because of the shear size of the collection, identifying the badges would be quite a labor. I know that I would at least like a shot of buying the collection for such a toil. As a matter of interest, are the mounting pins open the badges intact or were they removed for display purposes? Where is the collection located? You might want to invest in some reference books, especially Own's book for the S. African badges. There's pone for sale cheap on Etsy right now. Also a Dudley Wall one on SA badges. Last edited by davidcushworth; 13-11-19 at 04:07 AM. |

Badges for I.D.
Photo A: British cap badges , mainly anodied aluminium ( staybright). Basically listed in order of seniority, so Cavalry, Teeth arms ( artillery/engineer etc) Infantry, Service arms, Yeomanry, Brigades, odds
B: Canadian badges, post 1953? C: French. Mainly Foreign Legion and para units. D: top 3 rows are assorted African parachute wings. Next 2 rows are German cap badges with 3 German para wings on left. Bottom row are Italian para badges. E: South Africa Artillery badges. F: Belgian cap badges. G: Australian H: South Africa arm of service enamel stripes with example cap badges above. I: South Africa cap badges J: as stated K: as stated L: South Africa para cap badges and wings, including Army, Police, Ciskei, Transkei (homelands) M: as stated. N: as stated. If the bronze Selous Scouts wing is real and numbered it's worth over £100. If the number is less than 635ish, it COULD be traced and be worth over 300 or much more even (casualty, bravery awards, rank etc). |

@davidcushworth
Yes, I'm realising this. If I asked my dad would say what's what but he bought the badges individually over years (70’s – early 00) by personal contact rather than the internet. But learning quite a bit thanks to other members on here. Quote:

The Selous Scouts para wings would be numbered.
Just depends what number is on there as there were some good reproductions made that were numbered. There is a copy of the original numbering and wings allocation available. Jim McKenzie at samilitaria.com is sort of watchdog on the wings. |

Have the Belgium board worked out on paper will photograph and send on, the French board is a problem "lost my own list for those I have?" If I find it will send on too. Not hopeful! Billy
