Default British Badge Insignia Collection to be ID'd

British Badge Insignia Collection to be identified from a collection that has been stored for about 40 years.

I am new to British & Commonwealth Badge Collecting and now have a collection by default...I have been a militaria collector and dealer for over 40 years and have not collected British badges although I have owned many. I recently acquired an old collection that I am currently sorting and will post some for identification and reference on this forum.

I doubt there are any rare treasures, but there are so many variations and I assume reproductions in this field I think asking serious collectors for guidance is prudent.

Once I determine which pieces are not authentic I will remove those and sort the originals for sale. I appreciate any comments and suggestions and thanks for looking.

I trust adding a link to photos is all right. The links below go to my Facebook page with several photo albums of the British and Commonwealth badges and insignia.

Ed,

They look like collar badges and first impression is that they are mostly genuine.

I am not on facebook so cant help further.

regards

Default Badge collection

I must agree with Simon, mainly collar badges with possibly a few cap badges depending on the fittings.

That looks like a nice lot and would be fun to 'pick' through

Same as I said before.

Collar badges and appear all original.

What you have to do is take the time to photograph them the right way up and in pairs.

regards
