Default OMG - what Have I got here?
I bought some old medal ribbons in auction and included was this lot that I didnt really pay much attention too. Overwhelmed really.

Lots of Kings Crown stuff, quite a few HMS cap tallies, mint, unworn, which I think was WW2 issue only?

I wont be keeping any of it by the way if anyone has an interest let me know.

regards

Hi Simon
Wow, quite a find!
I know forum member Home Guard, Terry from the USA would be interested in the medical badges, it'll be worth PM'ing him.

Yes I know, just sorting through it.

Found two pairs of FAA wings with Kings Crown, a red and blue and a white n blue and also a lovely large Q/DEMS gunnery badge red and blue. Its a little treasure trove.

Does the cap tally in the foreground have the letters H.M.I.S.?

Yes, I believe that it is. I would be interested in buying the tally if you are selling it.
