      • Azyeoman and No One,   Splendid collection of badges. I also have always liked this badge because of the three-legged raven story.   All the best,   Tracy
      • Hi Alex,   the first two are US Army enlisted men's branch of service collar discs from the World War 2 era, the first one for Armour/Tank Corps, the second one for Infantry. These were not usually worn on combat clothing, but on four-pocket Class A or shorter two-pocket Ike service/walking-out jackets. They were worn on the left lapel, with an identical disc bearing the letters US on the right. I can only make a guess about the last badge/coin/seal, but HZA Aachen might translate to Hauptzollamt Aachen - the customs office. Best Robert
      • I ask for help in identifying the breastplate, raised from the ground with a metal detector, near the city of Aachen, Germany, a new model nut. In general, several signs were raised. But most of all I am interested in the tank sign. Colleagues, thank you.
