its still out there, 3 months in the making
hey
just over 3mths ago, i was offered a little collection of badges. i looked at them and made an offer. 24hrs later, the state was locked down due to covid and there was no way of meeting and completing the deal especially seeing the gentleman was in a retirement home where the rules were strictly enforced. today i called in to see him and came away with this little lot. there is a story behind them so when i sort it out i will let you all know. but for now im showing off bc |

Thanks for sharing BC
Great to see the slightly different manufacturing variations show on both the 70 brass numerals and 55 shoulder titles. Any manufacturers names stamped on the back of these badges at all ? Cheers, Invest
