Wow! Beautiful stuff..

I'm always tempted to collected colonial Africa badges as they're usually so beautiful but have enough on my plate with India/Burma/Police/Railway and my primary collection of medals...

Hope you get a cap badge too..Will look lovely when mounted up..

Thanks for sharing!

Sunil

Hi Paul,

Yes a lovely little group there, well done indeed. I have always had a soft spot for Colonial badges, so nice to see such finds turning up - well done!

Cheerio,

Roy

The buttons are officers' uniform buttons worn on KD tunic.

Hi Paul

Nice example of a hat badge here .

It's Gaunt stamped and the dealer is one I usually trust.
