Hello from Canada, I am new to this site and to military badge,pin and button collecting. I inherited a collection of approximately 100 pieces and am trying to catalog and identify these items as they came to me in a plastic bag. Thanks in advance for any future help you may be in aiding my efforts. Best regards, Rob.

As I mentioned in my earlier post I am very new to this and as such cannot really say which of my badges are British and Canadian. I do know that many of the buttons have the makers names on them, such as R Derooster, Firmin, J R Gaunt and Son, W Scully, Hicks and Sons, A M & Cie, Pitt & Co. , Fonson & Co., T. W. & W, and Maurice Bourdon.I do believe that the badges and buttons are originals and not reproductions however I will need to do more research to confirm this. Thanks for the welcome messages to the forum.Best Regards, Rob.
