Hallo all.

Took some time to get most of these, but now im willing to share these images with you guys.

Most of these are NOT from my personal collection, but from friend who have let me photograph their collections or who have sent me pictures.

Special thanks to Matt for his help in this.

Ill post these in order of precedence.

Dave, thanks for helping out man. Any idea about #32

Mattijs, thanks for your post mate, very nice collection

[attachmentid=45499]

another puzzle

has a pinback mounting wich appears to have been added later as there are obvious signs of other mounts that have been removed.

all for now

the other pieces i was able to id myself because they were fairly common

having a heck of a time trying to photograph the buttons, any hints?

if any body can clarify any of these badges for me, please qoute the post as well.

Thanks guys.

now these are very interessting

made from brass, very very soft. should have heard me cursing, trying to mount these without bending them.

WWI issue maybe?

[attachmentid=45497]

now this one could be from either an engineer or grenadier regiment, no idea

[attachmentid=45496]

this has me completely stumped

the brown

[attachmentid=45491]

the silver

these are very interresting

i have 3 of these, one bronze, one silver and one that appears to be brown (this is in fact bronze, but it appears to have been treated in some way)

the silver and brown ones have an attached wheel that spins around, the bronze is a solid 1 piece

[attachmentid=45490]

the bronze one

Ok Folks, heres one of the reasons I started this post

Following will be a couple of hat / beret badges which i have no clue about.

Any Ideas would be appreciated.

I picked these up in a lot at a fair. 57 pieces or so for about us$20.

The dealer was more into brass antiques and the like and not to concerned with militaria and had no idea what they were, truth to tell neither did I. The ones I recognised were fairly common, so I didnt think the price odd or anything.

This was about 12 years ago or so, and I got caught up in growing for a while.

Now that Im growed up (kinda) I started looking back at some of these and they have been very unhelpfull in telling me what the H*** they are.

So here goes
