Fantastic collection Bryan im very jealous! and your photography is excellent, great level of detail Dan

I have noticed a steep rise in medals towards the lower end of the spectrum (which is where most of my collecting sits!) Single WWI victory and war medals are commonly achieving ?18, even to very basic recipients (pte/corps), which is an amount i was paying for pairs last year. The average price of a war&victory pair is now nearer the ?30 mark than ?20. I believe this to be due to the up anc coming centenary of wwi, with people putting the cheaper medals away to sell on in 2014 to people with the same surname at a marked increase in price. Has anyone else encoutered this?

Hi Chaps I picked this up at the weekend along with a number of wwii German items - infantry assault in bronze, SA Sports badge in bronze, and also an officers carbinieri badge - but i have no idea what it is. It looks like some kind of firemans badge, but possibly post war? This isnt my field and i am a little stuck. Also any ideas as to its value?

Hey there fellas just recently picked this up with some other items - does anyone have a clue what the MPSC was/is?? The title came with a collection of WWII badges from the house of a former major of the Green Howards. Dan

here you are, sorry about the quality. It has blades like the old ww1 british officers badges any idea of value?

Has anybody any idea of the origins of this badge? Many thanks Dan

Hey Chaps Can anybody shed any light on this little item? My first instict was a varient of the Gloucestershire Regiment back badge It is roughly 1 high by 5/8" across and id fixed in place by two small luggs

Hi Chaps does any bodyhave any info on the following badge? it is 1" high and 3/4" across Thought it could be a Gloucesters back badge

Afternoon Chaps I am currently restoring a 1944 mkIII Turtle helmet, and cant seen to get the shade of the paint right. I have done a little research and have noticed several slightly different shades used my the WD at the time Any ideas as to a good type and colour of paint to use? Were the original paints textured? Dan

Suppose it helps to post the photo!! lol

Thanks Jelle were they made from fabric or paper? Any idea as to markings on them? Dan

Evening gentlemen I recently picked up this little badge in a mixed lot of badges. I believe it to be an honest example of the quite scarce Albert Crown badge. What do you think? Any idea as to its value? Dan

Hey guys any idea what this chap is wearing on his shoulder/sleeve? Dan
