Smile Medal discovery
Good afternoon!

We live in Tacolneston, Norfolk and just had a skip arrive to clear out the barn of our 700 year old cottage. We found a rusty old cigarette tin with these little badges in. Can anyone help?

WW1 British Army shoulder titles.

The most interesting is the KODR.

I can't see any. I can see two Gs that are probably from a Grenadier Guards shoulder title though.

You should report the find to the Portable Antiquities Scheme - your find is not over 300 years old so not not Treasure. Even iif it was - they do not take it away from you.

They just want to know where it was found - so that a database of eg military badges etc - for everyone to see our heritage, what is found here and there.

Thank you! It was up on a tiny shelf, I feel sad that someone must have kept the box there for many years and knew where the badges where from, but then for some reason they were left.

I don't think they are crescents, the tops are not joined
