Question Your help and advice would be appreciated!

Hi all

Some years ago now my Father was left a collection of military badges/pips from my Great, Great Uncle Hill and he's recently asked me to help research their identity/provenance.

I've attached a small selection of badges and some pips - could any of you help me with their identity please?

Also, where would we start looking for a collector that might be interested in these?

Thanks for your help!

12th image is the Royal Yachting Association. Worn by members on their barge caps. Still in use today.

8th badge is a Royal Navy officers, cap badge, post 1952.

Neither are overly valuable. I'd give you a fiver for the RYA one.

First 4 are a Royal Navy Submarine Chief Petty Officer arm badge post WW2 for Torpedo detecting.

Next one a modernish RAMC blazer badge

Last ones Coldstream Guards officers rank pips.

All very basic and not worth much at all I'm afraid.

regards
