Default Enamelled Crests

Before I do something really stupid has anyone worked out a way to display these? Am considering using double sided tape for the flat badges, the ones which have remains of pins dressing down and doing similar, my concern is these will eventually unstick themselves? There is also Superglue of course? I think as a last extreme!

Cheers Billy

I can recommend this stuff: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292702767956

Best double sided tape I have used. So long as everything is clean, grease free and dry before you stick them on - they should be absolutely fine with tape.

If you go to a picture framer, you should be able to purchase "Aggressive" double sided tape, it is super stick and very thin, I use it on badges all the time, never had any failures.

I'll check this out, do Ships have an order of Presedence? As do Regimental badges? Next a nice lump of Oak and I know a man can get me some!

Fleet flag ships etc. Yes, in their own way they do.
