Michael

don't want to dash your hopes however, the majority of what you have shown so far are just downright nasty.....

I'd have to see the reverse of the other badges but the Leinster's, 20th Londons and the Berkshire Yeomanry are just pieces of scrap metal i'm afraid

Wow! Wow! Wow! Those DSO groups are something. Bottom group with Egypt, Sudan and South Africa campaigns. Top group with 1914 "Mons" Star and "Mentioned in Despatch" MID on Victory Medal. Researching the recipients would surely render some lovely stories.

Good luck! You should easily have them moved-on. Highly desirable groups. Not aware of any Maltese having such groups, or else I would have considered
