The three arm badge in this form was worn in both the RAF and RCAF, but this one is a repro. The white gauze backing is the giveaway.

The shoulder titles are British 1948 to 1972, worn with the single numeral underneath to signify the Group.

The ASR badge is a lovely second pattern badge first worn in 1943.

The top eagle is Canadian Air Cadets, wartime onwards.

Middle eagle is is I think Zimbabwean, relatively modem.

The bottom eagle could be almost anything from WW1 onwards. Depending on the fixing it might be a sleeve eagle, or sweetheart badge.

The A badges are (RAF) Auxiliary Air Force, worn during the war by WAAFs and RAF. Abolished by the end of the war.

Canada title is standard wartime.

The Air Sea Recue badge is the gem in this lot. Worth a good deal more then everything else combined and then some. Nice badge.
