Perhaps not the most exciting item but as a Scouser (Liverpudlian) living in the South of England I was pleased to find in a job lot an example of the 6th King’s Liverpool Rifles. This is a cap badge I wore more than 50 years ago as a member of Merchant Taylor’s School, Crosby Combined Cadet Force. Maker marked Lambourne & Co Birmingham.

Mine has to be this fine example to the Royal Malta Artillery. Officer's Helmet Plate which was worn between 1891-1901. Super happy!!!

Nice finds gents, well done.
Mine is definitely this Eritrean Prison Service cap badge in brass on a deep red backing with contemporary stitching presumably compensating for the loss of the upper lug. Still looking for one in white metal and a B.M.A. Prisons Service cap badge to go with this and the Cyrenaica Prisons. All the best Graham

This attributable Chindit formation sign, which, judging from the position of the eye, may have been designed by Picasso.

Small, and some might say insignificant, but for me, this little sweetheart pendant, home made from a button is so poignant and a real treasure.

Thank you for showing. Because of the high quality I think it was made by a professional. It may have been a purchased item. Does it open up?

Unfortunately no, it does not open up. I agree it has been very well done and a clever idea too. Glad you like it.
